There are so many women around the web writing about important issues every week. You’d never know from the general conversations surrounding the women often called “mom bloggers.” And I got laughed at a couple of times this week at a book event for Mothers of Intention: How Women and Social Media are Revolutionizing Politics in America, when I suggested that women online are the freshest commentary voices around who are trying to change the world.
So for those critics, I present Broads of the Week — 11/19/11 Edition:
An article entitled Cornered in the Corner Office at the Women’s Media Center focuses on the obstacles still faced by women attorneys, even in the age of The Good Wife.
Herman Cain’s “sex” scandal is about a lot more than just sex, according to Mother Jones magazine.
Christy Turlington Burns’ movie No Woman, No Cry, about the dire need to create better global maternal health conditions was introduced this week at the Global Action Forum.
This is a great short video on how to get more women in tech. Big thanks to Jessica Gottlieb for pointing me in its direction!

From Megan McArdle at The Atlantic, Can Berlusconi’s Departure Save the Euro?
Aimee at The DC Moms reflects on the Penn State scandal from her viewpoint as a former Penn State fan.
Annie at One Flew Over the Playpen blog reflects, as did our own Elisa Batista, on how immigration policy is impacting American families, especially at the holidays.
And I had a little something to say about Congress trying to cut tax dollars for school lunches by proclaiming that pizza and french fries are really healthy vegetables!
What was your favorite woman writer talking about this week?
