The W List: Women Who Blog

I was tickled the other day to learn of a movement afoot to recognize and promote great blogs authored by women. Valeria Maltoni started it with this post at her blog, Conversation Agent.  Then Krishna De of Krishna De's BizGrowth News picked up the baton, expanding and alphabetizing the list and encouraging others to keep up the momentum.

Author/columnist/teacher/coach Marci Alboher was kind enough to add me to the list in a post on her terrific blog, Hey Marci.  Now it's my turn to trumpet the work of a few women whose words I have been admiring, admittedly from afar (i.e., without commenting—known in the blogosphere as "lurking").  They are:

Emdashes by Emily Gordon
Greek Tragedy by Stephanie Klein
Separated by a Common Language by M. Lynne Murphy, aka "Lynneguist"
She Just Walks Around With It by Kristy Sammis

If you, too, are a woman who blogs, you can help the cause by reproducing the whole list, including your additions, in a post of your own (with links back to the original posts to help readers follow the trail). There are undoubtedly many versions out there by now, but here's the most comprehensive one I can assemble:
