Chess Femme News by Goddesschess
 News About Women in Chess
Darlings, I only report on tournaments where at least one female played.  If it's men only playing, it doesn't get reported here.  If I'm not sure a named player is male or female, I leave the name out, so on occasion I may omit a chess femme.
