Most of them being Dutch, American and English, how about female web heroes from the Nordic countries or the Mediterranean, Israel or Asia? I will be at the nextweb conference.

She has been huge for social networking! As has Tara Hunt (and she speaks a LOT and seems to attend every conference known to man!). Mena Trott (http://www.sixapart.com/about/corner/) who created Six Apart. Caterina Fake (http://caterina.net) who co-created Flickr and has received numerous awards on tech & business and also headlines a lot of conferences. She's an amazing speaker on the topic of women in business. Alex Beauchamp (http://girlatplay.com) was one of the first females to create a personal site in 1995 and update it almost daily. She's since created several top sites and a business via the web and has hugely supported women online and in business with her female oriented sites highlighting artists and being an entrepreneur. Meg Hourihan (http://www.megnut.com/)was co-founder of Pyra (that created blogger) and is now married to Jason Kottke. She's done a lot of internet related work both as an entrepreneur and int he corporate world (like O'Reilly) and I'm sure has a lot to say! These are just a few off the top of my head. I looked at the list above and after visiting the sites would simply say "ditto!" Kathy Sierra for sure! She has been huge for social networking!
