The best of the Web for working women.
No one can succeed on her own. Even the savviest women need help along the way. To that end, with the help of the ForbesWoman community, we’ve searched the Web for the most dynamic, inspiring and helpful websites for women. We’re delighted to present this list of ForbesWoman’s Top 100 Websites for Women.
To determine which sites and blogs made the cut we looked for compelling and decidedly female-oriented content, outstanding design, an active community and frequent updates. In short, sheer clickyness.
Short of a women’s studies seminar at Smith College, it would be hard to find feminist conversation as lively and engaging as can be found on Feministing. Pioneer Woman has turned Web design and online photography into a high-art form. Dooce, a blog by uber mom blogger Heather Armstrong, fields dozens of comments and retweets per posting, mostly from like-minded women weighing in on Armstrong’s musings and rants. Womensenews and Birdsontheblog are veritable Twitter-fast scrolls of stories and features for and by women.
Twitter follower @abbycar was quick to respond when we asked our community for their favorite Web resources, and her response: “85Broads!” was quickly echoed on both Twitter and Facebook, and happens to an editors’ favorite as well. Other top shout outs that made the list were the blog Start Up Princess (@DomesticBecky), Ms. Magazine (@TitaniaUSA) and financial site LearnVest (@MeldonJ).
Why 100? As it turns out, we couldn’t go with less.
