Fantastic data! I'm sure the majority of the women reflected in the statistics above are moms...moms use the Internet in all aspects of their lives. They use it to do product research, connect with other moms, buy products, do product reviews via blogs, and, the latest popular activity: blogging!
Thank you for fantastic insight into the female consumer.
