Cosmopolitan Magazine Feminism

Women rule the blogosphere!

Women are not only from the blogging world by storm, but in a recent article Sydney Morning Herald, women are now ruling the blogging world!

The focus of the article is Mia Freeman, former editor of Cosmopolitan and her very Mumamia successful blog. Mumamia has written over 300 000 monthly visits and Mia about fashion, celebrity, relationships and current affairs. She says the "mom-blog" phenomenon is booming, especially in Australia, following the lead of the U.S. pioneer mummy blog, dooce.com attracts more than 4 million hits per month – more than any magazine in the world.

Why modern mothers are turning to blogging, as mothers in the past it took to tennis lessons and frilly knickers? "Because we lost have that sense of community with our neighbors, our extended families, people find it online. It can be quite isolated, a stay-at-home mother, or a Mother working part-time or just a mother to three clock in the morning with a baby to sleep does not want, "Mia says.

But it is not only mothers, Blogging the finding is so liberating, many women use their blogs as a basis to connect with other like-minded women and as a valuable tool for the collection customers on their sites, growing companies and their education of their profiles.

My goal is to make the breadth and diversity of women and writing preserve, promote women's writing more. A blog is a simple first step in this direction. It is a wonderful tool because it is in contact with the audience and your Reader is unfiltered, will grow slowly (or sometimes very quickly) over time. For an inexperienced writer, blogging is a medium that you place your trust in develop the road can.

In interviews with women with my journalistic work, many women love writing and have a goal of writing more. FEAR is the Main reason for us but slows. This fear is not a good enough writer, fear no one will read our work and the fear of embarrassment. If They set up a blog and readers are not knocking on the door first, no one else will know it is not really important. I have a friend, a blog about her garden. She started the blog, since their passion for gardening and every week she is a little perplexed by her growing audience. Be surprised how many people are also your And passion in what you have to say will be interested.

The reality is we all fear us in writing not good enough and if we allow We always submit to that, then we would never have the privilege of reading so much magnificant feminine literature. Watch the wonderful speech by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love in this site and you will also see the most successful writers are still using this term.

Just where would we think today without the Romance of Jane Austen to get to us through the lonely nights, or the passion of Emily Bronte, for us to remember that a complete health Cliffe out there for our All?

Now seriously, in the wake of the second War of our fabulous female writers started creating a real change. Back in 1949, French writer Simone de Beauvoir penned, – The Second Sex, the first real research into gender inequity. How many housewives would not be frustrated Broken and terribly miserable lives of sex marriages free if they had not read Germain Greer's – The Female Unick, in the second wave of feminism (70's). And in the next wave (90's), Noami Wolf, as they exposed the beauty industry and it is destructive judgments on women in her book "The Beauty Myth.

If you want to create change in this world and help others, then writing undeniably a powerful phenomenon. For some real inspiration to women the power of blogging a look at the NXE target = "_blank"> Fifty most influential 'Female' Bloggers and target = "_blank"> Top 100 bloggers from Ensha blog.

I believe that one of the best things you can do for themselves, personally and professionally Leave to set up and writing a blog is a great first step. Who knows where this may lead!

Cosmopolitan $10.36 New in paper! Cosmopolitan: A Bartender’s Life is a memoir of the bartending life structured as a day in the life at Passerby, the bar owned and run by Toby Cecchini. It is, as well, a rich study of human nature—of the sometimes annoying, sometimes outlandish behavior of the human animal under the influence of alcohol, lust, and the sheer desire to bust loose and party. It’s not a pretty picture, but it’s always compelling through the gimlet-eyed gaze of the author. As his typical day progresses, from the almost pastoral quiet of opening the bar and setting up to the gathering rush of customers dropping in after work to the sheer madness of catering to a crazed crush of funseekers, Toby Cecchini muses over a life spent in the service industry and the fascinating particulars of his chosen profession. Topics touched on include dealing with regulars, both welcome and not; sex and the bartender; cocktail connoisseurs (and drinks he refuses to make); learning the bartending ropes of the Odeon when young and newly arrived in New York; the sheer man-killing pace of keeping those drinks coming at flood tide; and the manifold varieties of weirdness and bad behavior that every bartender has to learn how to manage. Cosmopolitan: A Bartender’s Life is the hip, behind-the-scenes look at the frenzied yet undeniably fun atmosphere of that great establishment—the bar—and Toby Cecchini is, by turns, witty, acute, mordant, and lyrical in dealing with the realities of his job, shedding plenty of light on the hidden corners of what people do when they go out at night. Toby Cecchini is part owner of the bar/gallery Passerby, located in New York’s far west Chelsea neighborhood. He began his bartending career in the mid-eighties at New York’s fabled bar and restaurant Odeon, where he began the Cosmopolitan cocktail revival. Cosmopolitan began as a series of acclaimed diaries in Slate. Cecchini has also written for The New York Times Magazine and the Times’s Style section. He lives in New York City.
