I've always been one of those 'bad female academics' who aren't afraid to put themselves out there - but mostly this has been helped by having the encouragement and support of supervisors, colleagues etc. Recently I've felt a lot less confident but reading things like this really help! And while I'm here, I'll shamelessly self-promote my blog as well (I write a lot from a personal perspective about being a woman in a very male dominated research field) http://highheelsinthelab.blogspot.co.uk/ Suzie Sheehyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451186049719518232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-89097271945587517782011-08-29T10:25:32.874-04:002011-08-29T10:25:32.874-04:00I'm sitting in an office full of men at least ...I'm sitting in an office full of men at least 10 years older than me. And I am intimidated. I have been at my new job (my first graduate job) for a month and it has taken me a long time to start coming out of my shell- those who know me personally would never have believed it. But self confidence can be hard to come by, especially when you feel like a silly 21 year old waaaay out of her depth! But this blog post has me smiling, in an almost smug way. "willing to whore yourself" is a sexist term because the opposite sex decided so- I'm by no means a feminist and I love this term. It reminds me a lot of the Slut Walk even that took place in Glasgow this summer; its all about empowerment. And you oooooze female empowerment; it's infectious.... so I'm going to shamelessly put myself out there. This is my Blog, http://nevertoolateforhallelujah.blogspot.com/ it's new and very much a working process. But I love to write and I have so much to share (more than just the educational content currently there). I hope you will check it out and follow my progress :) I will definitely be keeping up to date with yours!

I find self-promotion really difficult and awkward. I do feel the womanly burden of being modest. Having a network of women willing to play by a different set of rules, though, enables me to envision a different model of behavior. <br /><br />Happy birthday! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09743634961727582102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-63158503391221503792011-08-15T17:23:02.136-04:002011-08-15T17:23:02.136-04:00I just referenced this post in my current blog pos...I just referenced this post in my current blog post! It's funny, because the post couldn't have come at a better time. I've literally been discussing this issue with several of my academic friends as well as several publishing professionals. We've been talking about how writers really hate to self-market and how women and academic writers are even less inclined to put themselves out there. So thank you for such a timely post!<br /><br />http://www.boxocto.com/2011/08/women-writing-and-self-promotion-or-how.htmlKathryn Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669702092097962234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-55293369622167553142011-08-15T16:48:07.796-04:002011-08-15T16:48:07.796-04:00Hey everyone!

One of the most powerful things about Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale is the way it explores how women police the behaviour of other women. <br /><br />Your advice is relevant to any woman who blogs. So in the spirit of the promotion you suggest, here is a link to my communications blog, The Analytice Eye: http://theanalyticeye.com.<br /><br />Good luck with your SXSW proposal.emwhttp://theanalyticeye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-64302858393056035702011-08-14T22:21:28.665-04:002011-08-14T22:21:28.665-04:00Congrats and happy b-day, Leo-ness!

I just pimped my mad web design skillz to my dentist, while I was in the chair. That's one alternative to whoring, btw, "pimping" though it's not exactly better. I spent all weekend adding a third column to my site, the better to have space for advertising...and SXSW pimping, ha!WorstProfEverhttp://www.worstprofessorever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-7900363593910621212011-08-14T12:23:57.479-04:002011-08-14T12:23:57.479-04:00I have no problems with trying to get my name out ...I have no problems with trying to get my name out there. Indeed, I do it as much as I can, and I'm involved with projects and people that actively encourage me to do so. I think that makes a difference. My mentor said this week that more people probably know about my as yet-to-be completed editorial project than about his 5-years-complete one on the same author, and he's a big name in our field. Gotta love the age of social media.Melissa Dalgleishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941383321743781790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529647435872563341.post-9349870686188474952011-08-14T09:44:43.300-04:002011-08-14T09:44:43.300-04:00Congratulations on getting 50,000 pageviews.
