Returning after a two-week hiatus - sorry about that: hideous technical problems that are finally, I hope, cross toes, solved. I never wanted to be a techie, but these days it seems almost impossible to avoid.
But to business - ten great posts from ten new (to me) women bloggers. It is here every week: it is going to be really, truly, I promise.
First, a real discovery, and just down the road for me: Stroppyblog. I can't imagine how I've missed her for so long. In this post she's talking about the problems encountered by a lap-dancing club that is solely for women customers.
Staying in the UK, Antiprincess (love the name!) on I Shame the Matriarchy is commenting on recently announced plans to ban violent porn. She says: "I want to say: Hey! British Home Office! Don't ban me! Don't erase me! ... Don't make it a crime to look at me!" But it is a much more nuanced post than that sounds - do go to check it out.
Very much on the personal is political side, Pippa on One Salford Feminist reflects on how in 1988 she gave up her name. She says she's now ready to choose another name, and is looking for suggestions.
Then a little traditional British politics; on thatlittlebluehome, the author reflects as a non-aligned voter what is wrong with the Liberal Democrats. Have a look at the Greens, I say - not just those who stick on a thin green-coloured cloak.
Leaving the relatively civilised shores of Europe - a must-read post on Den of the Biting Beaver. She had a hell of a struggle to get access to emergency contraception, and reflects with compelling honesty and frankness on the experience.

I'm new to this feature column but I love the idea behind it and am really looking forward to upcoming additions. Also know that I'm now compelled to check out past submissions.
