Cyberfeminism/s: The Strategies of Feminism in a Digital Age

• In Event: 152 - Regular Session. Internet and Society

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between the various strategies presented by feminist thinkers and how cyberfeminists adopt and interpret these strategies. Firstly, the strategies of feminism are presented: the individual, the body, labor and difference. Following this, I investigate how
these strategies are used not only by cyberfeminist thinkers but also by digital theorists. Further, I will explore the problems associated with the
adoption of these strategies and the implications for sociological thinking. How can these cyberfeminist strategies have political and social consequences for the advancement of women?
