Don't bring any gender equality or segregation talk in here, it has no place here. If you don't agree with this policy make a thread in Website Feedback. Thanks.

Dude, back off. We're just introducing ourselves to the TL community, not many people even think girls exist on the internet. We're simply introducing ourselves, we're not trying to be the whole center of attention in e-sports...
And who might these people be? 10 year olds and trolls? Pretty sure the TL community is well aware of the existence of females on the internet and in video games.
i didnt know there were girl's in Grandmasters. Honestly the discussion of gender equality and people being upset about girls getting attention has been done to death. Enjoy what this thread is here for. Some nice streams and drawing attention to active female members of the community.
Since when does Grandmasters == Internet though? I'm not upset to be honest, but I just found that one line to be pretty far fetched. It's not like we're at the dawn of online gaming and girls playing video games in general and online is some mystical rumor.
I will say that I am genuinely interested in what each of the people listed in the OP have done/contributed to e-sports.
lol obviously it was an exaggeration. You dont need to nitpick.
As for what each of these girls have done for eSports/starcraft:
Kellymilkies - GSL caster and interviewer at IEM - featured TL streamer Suna - ESL caster Aurora, Flo and Navi - female ESL winners. Flo is also a competitor at MLG and got to ro5 femFxKaren - founded an all female team. Their site is http://fem-fx.com Hazelynut - competes in the female ESL cups Cheekyduck - organizes tourneys with cash prizes
This is half the girls on that list.
The point of this thread is draw attention to a developing community. These girls are important to that community which is a sub-community of the SC2/esports scene. That's why it matters. It's to allow people to shine who otherwise would be buried in how busy this scene is getting. This way if you see one of them streaming, you'll be more likely to check them out.
I will update the thread but I don't know if I should add girls without having their approval first :S Also, I will progressively switch all those links to the Team Liquid threads, I think it would be better off that way.
Well, women for some odd reason have my attention. And seemingly it got yours as well.
I know this happened in Eve-online, and it gave them a sense of unity within the community, which I think is a good thing. I suspect women often times feel alienated in the gaming communities. After thousands of years most men don't fully understand women and vice versa, and it is quite nice to have some you can relate to and identify with.
