			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-519" href="http://www.fpte.co.uk/2008/08/12/where-are-all-the-women/women-2/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-519" title="women" src="http://www.fpte.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/women1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>It occurred to me today that just one of the many blogs I subscribe to is written by a woman; the lovely <a href="http://www.lighthousepr.com/blog/">Susannah Wyeth</a>. In an industry were <a href="http://www.profile-extra.co.uk/articledetail.aspx?page=FC4038EC-2EE2-4893-AE05-403414103E51&amp;article=58786478-05D3-417C-96D8-DB266C2472E1">62 per cent</a> of people are female, it would appear that women are highly unrepresented in the PR blogosphere.</p>
<p>Now, I know that there are female bloggers, very good ones at that such as <a href="http://katya-blog.co.uk/">Katya Trubilova</a> and <a href="http://ellielovell.wordpress.com/">Eleanor Lovell</a>, but what I&#8217;m saying is that there don&#8217;t seem to be that many. I&#8217;m not really sure why this is, but I don&#8217;t seem to be the only one that thinks it. Alena <a href="http://women-and-pr.blogspot.com/2007/01/female-pr-bloggers-in-minority.html">blogged </a>about it last year in her excellent <a href="http://women-and-pr.blogspot.com/">blog </a>about PR women. But, unfortunately it would appear she stopped blogging after just three months.</p>
<p>Perhaps there aren&#8217;t many female bloggers because there are fewer women in senior roles in PR agencies, and I find many PR blogs are written by senior staff. Or to be a bit stereotypical, are there fewer female bloggers because women are less geeky than us menfolk. Or perhaps I&#8217;m just completely wrong and there are a lot of ladies blogging about PR. But in my recent <a href="http://www.m-p-w.co.uk/2008/07/worlds-top-pr-blogs.html">post</a>, I found there wan&#8217;t one female blogger in my list of the UK&#8217;s top ten PR blogs.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Stephen Davies did a great <a href="http://www.prblogger.com/2008/03/where-are-all-the-student-pr-bloggers/">post</a> looking for student PR bloggers. This is my version:</p>
<p>Where are all the female PR bloggers?</p>
<p>Please recommend some fantastic female bloggers for me to follow or identify your own blog so I can balance out my blog intake a little. Thanks.</p>
