No Movement in Today's World Can Make a Difference Without Women, So Here's to Them ALL
Jen McCreight has complied a large list of awesome female atheists. Kudos to them and many thanks for all their efforts in our fight against superstition, pseudoscience, and ignorance. We need them! Let me rather say it this way: I'm glad to join with them in this common cause. So far her list includes:
And there's still another woman who doesn't make a presence on the web but she is my main supporter and encourager, my wife Gwen, whom I love with all I've got inside me.
Maggie Ardiente - Development Director at the American Humanist AssociationI tip my hat to each and every one of them along with the many others behind the scenes, including one not mentioned but should be: Reba Boyd Wooden, Executive Director for CFI Indiana, whom I've had the pleasure of working with.

We tip our hats to you, too, John! Thanks for sharing the link!
Thanks John, kudos to them all! There are quite a few I don't know, but for the ones I do know, there's one I do have some reservations, that's Acharya S(just my own personal opinion) :P.
I would to also add Toni Van Pelt who is Vice President and Public Policy Director for Center for Inquiry and Lauren Becker who is Vice President for Outreach for Center for Inquiry. Melody Hensley, Executive Director of CFI DC and Clare Weullner, Executive Director of CFI Austin could also be added.
No Kelly O'Connor, formerly of the Rational Response Squad? I guarantee she's got the best rack out of any of the other female atheists on the list. Ms. McCreight clearly does not have her priorities straight when it comes to determining the critical factors in a female atheist!
j/k, kinda
