Comments on: No Women Bloggers?! We tried! http://skrapnel.com/2008/04/28/no-women-bloggers-we-tried/ Explosive Scraps and Thoughts by Chris Lynn Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:33:32 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Will Howard http://skrapnel.com/2008/04/28/no-women-bloggers-we-tried/#comment-5 Will Howard Wed, 30 Apr 2008 14:22:48 +0000 http://skrapnel.wordpress.com/?p=17#comment-5 Chris, I"m a retired Texana librarian, with an interest in museums. I find your senior thesis an interesting topic. In addition to my "Texas Parlor" blog I publish an e-journal, Will's Texana Monthly. If you wish to continue exploration of that topic, let me know. The vast majority of museums in Texas are, as they are in most locales, interested in their community's or state's history and accomplishments - hence Texana in Texas. Most are not affiliated with the Texas Association of Museums. The emerging "minority" museum and the emerging role of "minorities" within traditional museums will be genuine growth section. Your developing a continuing focus on such would be interesting for sure and a focus of future study and an added value to your employment options. Did you compile a directory of those that you DID find in Texas which did demonstrate an inclusive practice? Chris,

I was doing double duty in the booth and covering the conference for the blog, and there may have been more of us. Blogging is my "real" job though; the booth was helping out. ;) I was there, I swear!

Good point. A lot of the women I spoke to in Blogtropol.us were marketing/PR contacts for companies. *shrug* :) We've had women on the show and hopefully will have more women! Chris Hi Cyndy:

Maybe not everyone is recognizable or famous enough to the point of the pasty white men? ;) There were loads of female bloggers there… at points Blogtropol.us was nearly 50/50.
