Do follow And No follow?

I want to follow more women on Twitter

  • Please give me your ideas for women to follow on Twitter. After reading https://medium.com/p/79403a7eade1 great post by Anil Dash about how he only retweeted women on Twitter in 2013, which (eventually) led me to this post in http://blogs.hbr.org/2009/06/new-twitter-research-men-follo/ about how despite there being more women on Twitter, both men and women are more likely to follow men; I've decided I want to actively follow and support more women. I am looking for your suggestions for interesting women to follow. I'm interested in politics, economics, journalism, feminism, comedy and pop culture but I also like random tweets about interesting things (some of the Mefites I follow, like madam jujujive, are great at this). Please give me your ideas on other women to follow. To give you an idea of what kinds of things I like, here are examples of women I already follow and love: @JessicaValenti @Karnythia @Shakestweetz @thelindywest @lanyardigan @Frances_Coppola @izakaminska @JennyJohnsonHi5 @LeslieMarshall @BBW_BFF @JustAboutGlad Thanks.

  • Answer:

    I could write up a list a hundred women long, BUT! Here are some highlights that immediately come to mind, for a variety of subjects. @femfreq - Anita Sarkeesian Video games and related media through the lens of feminism. @SpcPlcyOnline - Marcia Smith Editor of Space Policy Online, excellent source for news if that's a topic that interests you. @NPRMonkeySee - Linda Holmes Pop culture commentary, excellent human. @beatonna - Kate Beaton Funny, prolific and accomplished cartoonist @ComixAce - Heidi MacDonald News and discussion about mainstream and indipendent comics, as well as the community surrounding them. @iron_spike - Spike A cartoonist and small press publisher who talks about a WIDE variety of extremely interesting stuff. @NussbaumAbigail - Abigail Nussbaum Israeli reviewer of (mostly) science fiction and fantasy books, films and television. She is the greatest, I'm so glad she's finally on Twitter. @whitneyarner - Whitney Reynolds Just a funny, interesting lady. Occasionally writes for The Toast.

We follow some of the same people, so maybe check out https://twitter.com/wintersweet/following. (I'd sort through it if I weren't supposed to be packing for a convention!)

I love https://twitter.com/feministhulk. Not a woman per se, but I would be very surprised if there's not a female author behind the twitter persona.
