An anniversary note

Having just reached the 10th weekly "femmes fatales" post, I thought I'd briefly reflect on the project.

Several posters have questioned the project of singling out women bloggers. On that I'm utterly unapologetic. Every new article I read about bloggers that mentions only men, (and perhaps adds a patronising note about "mommy bloggers"), not to mention the endless "where are all the women bloggers?" questions, make me think it is a good idea.

Thanks all! The table is a good idea Elayne, but I wonder if it is possible on Blogger? (I have been thinking about putting this in my sidebar, but a long list of numbers will be a bit dull in visual terms.
