Girl with Pen, a group blog that bridges academic and popular feminist spheres (YEP, THAT’S US!), is seeking an intern to help with outreach. Founded by author and Woodhull Fellow Deborah Siegel , Girl with Pen is at an exciting moment as it transitions to a group blog comprising diverse voices of all stripes: psychologists, sociologists, women’s studies scholars, book editors, historians, and well-known feminist bloggers. Girl with Pen is seeking to expand its presence in the web through Web 2.0 social networking tools and listserv use, and we need someone to help us do this. We are seeking someone who is a self-starter, tech-savvy, and interested in getting involved in the feminist blogosphere. While we cannot offer to pay at this point, working at Girl with Pen will allow you to network, network, network. The internship, which involves 5 hours/week of work and weekly call-ins with the GWP team, will take place over a 3 to 4 month period.

Candidates should have (and let us know about):

-Tech and web 2.0 social networking skills

-commitment to feminist and gender issues

-“self starter” qualities

-strong writing skills

-contact information for a reference

Please send a cover letter detailing the above along with a short (one page) writing sample to Kristen@girlwpen.com .
