Atheists & Agnostics

This question:

The author apparently just concentrated on celebrity women atheists, an even smaller sub-set than "women atheists."

My experience at atheist/skeptics meetings agrees with yours. Though I also have limited experience. I used to go to occasional meetings of the SS. ALERTERS - that's an abbreviation for "Skeptics Society." GOTCHA! Quite a few women in attendance or speaking from the podium, etc.

Back in 2010, someone wrote an article asking "Where are all the women atheists?" And got a response entitled "Right Here!" from Jennifer McCreight. She put together a long, long list of women atheist leaders. It's still available online.

On the homepage for Atheist Ireland, that organization maintains a list of 1,500 women willing to speak at meetings, etc. That introduced me to some women I'd never heard of who had interesting things to say. Many of them from outside the USA.

And on that note - over at AI, someone recently accused its leadership of the old standby, "misogyny." A good chunk of AI's leadership are women, and they didn't let that pass. Nor should they.

But AI has tangled with the IRA in Northern Ireland, and the virtual theocracy of the Catholic Church in the Irish Republic over abortion and related issues. So I don't think they are very intimidated by an Internet loudmouth denouncing them.
