Women in Secularism Conference 2012 ? Ashley F. Miller

ImageTomorrow I?m going to be getting up bright and early to do all of those things I haven?t finished doing tonight in order to only be woefully behind when I get back home on Sunday, because I?m driving up to Washington, DC to go to the Women in Secularism Conference.

I was going to just do a list of people who I am excited to hear speak, but then I realized that it was everyone whose name I recognized, which meant that basically everyone, so I?m just pasting the whole list here for you!

  • Lauren Becker,?educator and organizer, vice president & director ofCFI Outreach
  • Ophelia Benson,?author, editor,?and?commentator,Butterflies & Wheels
  • Jamila Bey,?author, editor, and journalist
  • Greta Christina,?writer and blogger,Greta Christina?s Blog
  • Elisabeth Cornwell,?evolutionary psychologist, executive director of?Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science US
  • Margaret Downey,?activist and author, founder and president of?The Freethought Society
  • Annie Laurie Gaylor,?author, radio host, and co-founder ofFreedom From Religion Foundation

If you?re in the DC area at all, you should make an effort to come, it?s going to be AWESOME. ?Also, I?m hoping that I will get to meet Edwina Rogers. ?Really, really hoping that happens because I?d love to report what she?s like in real life.

I will be live-blogging, which will probably translate to Twitter: @ashleyfmiller
