Utne on our magnificent, gloriously disordered feminist blogosphere

I’m grateful to Daniella Maestretti of Utne Reader who e-mailed me this afternoon to let me know that this site was mentioned in her column on feminist blogs.

Maestretti names four “starter sites” (four cornerstones?) of the feminist blogosphere: Feministing, Pandagon, Shakesville, and Feministe. But Maestretti also notes the breadth and diversity of the ’sphere, linking to Sydette and Brownfemipower and Donna among others.

It’s a good summary, and I liked this bit:

Do these bloggers know each other? Hate each other? Love each other? To some degree, I imagine, all of the above. They certainly seem to read each other, which keeps things lively, and there’s more interaction between them than I expected to find.

Well, I’m hoping to meet many of these bloggers (and all the others who ought also to have been mentioned) next month at WAM 2008. And whether or not my unabashed admiration for all is reciprocated, I’m fond of each and every one of my “colleagues”, and eager to connect with ‘em in “real” life.
