  • not easily defined in a single way


  • discusses the relationship between gender and digital culture


  • “‘old’ cyberfeminism, characterized by a utopian vision of a postcorporeal woman corrupting patriarchy” (Daniels 102)


  • “‘new’ cyberfeminism, which is more about ‘confronting the top-down from the bottom-up’”(Fernandez, Wilding, and Wright 2003, 22–23) - (Daniels 102)


  • both the practices and critiques of cyberfeminism seem to imply that “gender” is unified and digital technologies mean the same thing to all women regardless of class, race, and sexuality
