**Entrant:** Amy  
  
**Nominee:** feministing.com  
  
  
  
I would like to nominate the great blogging women of [feministing.com](http://www.feministing.com/) as my Women’s Health Heroes. I have been enthusiastically reading feministing for quite some time and I feel that it gives young women a space to voice their concerns, in addition to learning about other’s perspectives on important health issues. The women of feministing deserve recognition for always keeping readers up-to-date and for also sharing lighter and funnier news.

I wholeheartedly agree. Feministing.com is an interesting, enlightening, humorous, up-to-date blog that provides a safe space to explore current issues many young women (and men) would otherwise lack.
