Backstory: origin of this directory
By
: A recent [Dec. 19, 2024] article on Substackers who write about AI profiled 10 men — and 0 non-men. I messaged the author privately to express my disappointment that the list was all men. He responded kindly and quickly that the oversight wasn’t intentional; he just wasn’t connected yet to women writing here on Substack about AI.I’d seen starter lists of women in STEM on sites like Bluesky. But I realized I don’t know of any lists for women in AI on Substack yet. So I created one! (See the original directory in Agile Analytics and Beyond.) The goal was to make it easier for people of all genders to find women and non-binary people who write on Substack about AI, ML, ethics, governance, data privacy, and related technology.
It has taken off since then, zooming from 34 entries to over 400, and it’s still growing. This
newsletter site is now its dedicated home and will be the focus for building community support for directory members.For even more background on this directory and why it was created, see this April 12, 2025 article, or my guest post in
’s blog, “Women in Artificial Intelligence”.
History: how it’s evolved
Origin Dec. 19, 2024: Original directory posted with a list of 34 women I already followed and their publications. I began updating it as suggestions came in or I discovered more or new writers.
Update Dec. 21, 2024: I used Datawrapper.de to create an interactive map to show the countries, where known, for the writers listed here. I also created a searchable, filterable table to make it easier to find a person or country in the list. (The bulleted lists below the map and table also give live links to Substack.)
Update Feb. 4, 2025: The searchable table now includes live hyperlinks for writer names, newsletters, and LinkedIn profiles. New linked columns for books, podcasts, and Bluesky handles are gradually being populated. A column for Topics is also being filled in.
Update Feb. 20, 2025: New world map created with more granular locations. Table and this page updated to use people’s preferred country/flag identities.
Update March 2, 2025: Created US state map (state is not known for about 10% of US writers). Newsletter topics are now included for all writers.
Update April 5, 2025: Website www.shewritesai.org registered and set up with a placeholder page.
Update April 21, 2025: Bluesky account @shewritesai.org set up and authenticated.
Update June 7, 2025: Google Form created to allow anyone to nominate themself or someone else who fits with the SheWritesAI directory mission and scope.
Update June 13, 2025: Substack account established as the new home for community support to directory members.
