So what is #womenofsteemit all about?
...and did you mention rewards? I like those!
The #womenofsteemit started off as a #tag, documenting woman on Steemit's lives. A combination of a photography project as well as to create an exhaustive catalog of the females of Steem!
Once a week, on a Monday, I will compile the best few stories and images and present to Steemit the #womenofsteemit weekly roundup as a nice showcase.
Those featured will share the Steem dollar rewards the showcase post receives plus whatever amount of SD has been donated to the pot that week!
If you would like to donate to the pot for the coming weeks send any amount of Steem or Steem Dollar to me, @melkay with the memo 'womenofsteemit pot'
Week 1 Received a massive amount of interest, with the intro post receiving 195 SD in upvote rewards as well as the 25 SD pot. It allowed 22 SBD to be awarded to each 10 women that were featured in week 1!!
The following accounts have been paid out 22 SBD EACH!!:
@dianargenti , @dayleeo, @lenadr, @subspaced, @heart-to-heart, @suzique, @jessandthesea, @sassysandyg, @juliakponsford, @whistlejacket, @dianargenti

Hey hun this looks awesome I'm so happy your initiative has gone so well, I'm always happy to help even if it's just to bounce some ideas off of :D
Always here and willing to support genuine efforts to improve and help people, even if it takes me awhile to get back to you (two kids can make time management a pain) :P
All good. The chats we have had are indispensable to me doing the competition route rather than other weird things. I am sure we will have plenty of time in the coming months and years to get to know each other better and do bigger and better things.
Omg thank you so much! Wow, what a brilliant thing to see the first time I logged in for the day.
I'm so excited for this group and can't wait to read future posts! :)
Yay! Good seeing you here lady!
ahhhh good to be with the girls... minnow been swimming around too much testosterone - today is my 16th day with steemit, if I calculated correctly
so hello to all, will post a pic when I rig up a webcam or something - old fujis gave up the ghosts
and will watch/follow in the meantime
happy sails to you
@melkay thank you so much for featuring my story and for giving me a place to express myself! I let myself get stressed out on here somehow... all the lingo and flashing lights made me lose myself for a minute trying to get acquainted with so much unknown. This is exactly the kind of thing I came onto this platform for, to connect and share with a supportive community. I am thrilled to be a part of this group and this feature. Thank you again for inspiring and motivating me :) <3 Congratulations to all the other amazing, inspiring, talented women featured. I'm touched to be in the same group as you all!
So many amazing stories!
Thank you! What an incredible surprise I got when I logged on today getting 22 SBD for participating in this fantastic challenge! This is so awesome and amazing. #womenofsteemit ROCK!
This is fantastic! Resteemed!

@uglysweater you might wanna join this? I enjoy what you write.
@sumsum you could be part of this.
Great job @melkay.
Thanks mindfreak! :D
Other than the part where I'd have to be in the picture I submitted, I love this whole idea. Women supporting women and us all being stronger as a community is why I love steemit. :D
I don't really have pictures of myself. I'm not a selfie person, only take them if absolutely necessary.... I don't even like group photos that I have to be in for the most part, although there are a few from my younger days that aren't too bad, if I look at them without the self-critical eye that we all seem to see ourselves with.
Great post and I loved all of the little stories included within it. :D
Do photos of spirit animals count? Stick figures? <3 @melkay
As long as their is a good story behind it I will most likely accept it :D
You surely do not have to be in the pic like Julia's post is abstract. :D I am still waiting for picture of a womens hands and wedding ring, a story of romance and heartbreak. ;)
Every single woman out there that has ever been married to a man should have a story like that. :D We all have romance and heartbreak in our lives I'm sure. Hopefully more romance than heartbreak overall though. :D
Oh wow, I am so humbled to be among those showcased especially considering the wonderful entries. Thanks @melkay for this awesome initiative.
stoked to see you here! <3
And congrats on your awesome winning entry....so well deserved.
daww thanks girl!
No problem whistlejacket. I enjoyed your story, and one day will try out horse riding. I have always been afraid of hurting myself.
Yes well I'm afraid that is always a real possibility, I've had concussion twice and several bruises to show for it. :) But still worth it.
Ouchi! haha! guess I will have to pluck up some Dutch Courage.
