A Women's Guide to the Blogosphere: March 2008

Especially since the advent of social networking sites dedicated to giving women unique, high-traffic places to blog on the internet (BlogHer comes to mind here), there are plenty of ways for women to get their voices heard on an increasingly diverse number of political, personal, and increasingly bizarre topics. In that sense, the first step of the female internet revolution is already well underway.

But immediately upon having millions of female bloggers pour their hearts into the blogosphere, we have ushered in the establishment of new standards of quality, best-of-blog rankings, and power-blogs which are viewed by tens of thousands of women every day.

Here are some of our favorite blogs, some of which we find so mind-blowingly interesting that we feel compelled to check them upwards of a half-dozen times in a single day. We chose blogs which met the following criteria:

-Does not resort to gimmicky content in order to drive hits

-Thought-provoking and reflective

-Convey a sense of honesty, and authentic engagement

-Real tips and advice that are difficult to come across elsewhere

-Personable, charismatic writers who bring unique perspective to the issues they blog about
