Women in the business? I haven't noticed a disproportionate change. There were plenty of great, smart women in the business back "in the day" and there still are today. Angry? I don't know a single person who even considers it an issue. Maybe you do.

I TOTALLY agree Colin - in 7 years I've had ONE idiot say something negative about being a woman in this biz - and that was within 2 weeks of me starting out.
Fyrflygrl - I think the new boards for and about female webmasters are more a 'sign of the times' as far as needing to 'niche out' resources to maximize profits as they are anything else.
We are in midst of the micro-niching phenomenon - tgp boards, graphics boards, newbie boards, women boards, hell, there's so many different kinds I don't think anyone could list them all.
However, the first 'female webmaster' get together was a long, long time ago. I believe it was in Montreal of '99 and then we had another one in Miami '99. So the boards really aren't anything new....just kind of an online manifestation of what we've been doing anyway for years :o)
