Melissa McEwan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melissa McEwan is an American blogger, writer, and feminist. She is the creator and editor of the popular weblog Shakesville.
McEwan rose to national prominence in 2007, when she was hired by the campaign of presidential candidate John Edwards, to serve as his netroots coordinator. McEwan and another campaign staffer, Amanda Marcotte, came under fire for pieces they had written on their individual blogs. Bill Donahue of the Catholic League accused Marcotte and McEwan of anti-Catholic writings. While most of the attention focused on Marcotte, both women ultimately resigned from the Edwards campaign.[1][2][3]
McEwan remains active editing Shakesville, which in 2007 was named the 37th most informative blog in a study by Carnegie Mellon University.[4]
