It's the least I can do to reciprocate your linking to our little operation to participate--assuming pro-feminist bloggers count.
There's contact info on the site, though it's just thewordwarriors@gmail.com. If you send an email there, I can reply with my actual email address (WW remains annonymous for reasons never made entirely clear to me.)

The only qualification is that you're a feminist blogger! I'm definitely not going to discriminate based on age.

I'll have the consent form drawn up in the next week or so and I'll email it to all interested participants, and you can decide for sure from there. Additionally, I'm going to change the format from interviews to an open-ended survey, I think. That will be easier to administer on a larger scale.

Thanks for your interest and the link!

I've been a feminist for 37 years. I might be too old for your purposes. Check out my blog and see what you think. Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best. i've linked to your blog, because I think it's worth it!

Thi is a bit of a variation on blogging, but thought you may be interested...

At age 40, I realized that I knew that it did, but nothing of HOW the world turned -- from routine repression to relative freedom for women.

I was a pre-teen in the 60s and was vaguely aware of bra-burning and women's 'liberation.' But nothing was taught in school - there were no tv shows - no popular books that would make a person of my generation understand what it took to instill in me the firm belief that there was nothing in the world that I as a woman could not do.

I believe that my generation of women was the first to come of age with most of us believing, taking it for granted, assuming that the world would be fair to us and that our future would be glorious.

Of course, that hasn't always been the case, though my life has been blessed with amazing opportunities that my mother and grandmother would not have dreamed of.

But when I realized that I didn't know how my freedom happened I set out on a journey of discovery and I am now strengthened by the inspiration of countless suffragettes.

I realize I stand on their strong shoulders, and on the shoulders of other women who keep pushing for more than voting rights, who demand the full range of human rights for women.

I want to share that inspiration with other women.

Can you even imagine being a woman and NOT being able to vote?

Thanks to the suffragettes, America has women voters and wide range of women candidates, and we are a better country for it!

Women have voices and choices! Just like men.

But few people know ALL of the suffering that our suffragettes had to go through, and what life was REALLY like for women.
