The reason for a Female Founders Conference is presumably that women are under-represented among founders. A quote from Paul Graham may explain why: http://www.paulgraham.com/start.html http://www.paulgraham.com/start.html "One advantage startups have over established companies is that there are no discrimination laws about starting businesses. For example, I would be reluctant to start a startup with a woman who had small children, or was likely to have them soon. But you're not allowed to ask prospective employees if they plan to have kids soon."
