Product Description
Product Description
Writings on the Internet, multimedia development, fiction and hypertext, electronic publishing and education. This text is a diverse and, at times, fractious discussion of the issues raised by the development of these new forms of expression. The contributors ask such questions as: what is cyberfeminism?; is the Internet a feminist issue?; how does feminism impact on multimedia production?; what are the possiblities for activism and research on the Internet?; how are colonization, cybersex, and virtuality to be theorised?; and what are the implications for the creative artist?

An inpirational book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cyberfeminism: Connectivity, Critique and Creativity (Paperback)
Whoever thought of including 3 sections, connectivity, critique and creativity is brilliant. This book is full of hope and questions. I felt especially inspired by the story of a forty plus year old woman climbing the ropes in the Performing Older Women's Circus cheered on by the crowd in Susan Hawthorne's chapter. More please...

A good collection of feminist writings,
By Jim Richards "mr_grumpy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyberfeminism: Connectivity, Critique and Creativity (Paperback)
This anthology from Australian, Asian and other international writers covers feminist writings with a diversity of areas including connectivity, critique and creativity. The book includes mostly strong feminist views, with compelling argument against the patriarchy of the Internet and related technologies, although some of the writings may shock a few of the more conservative readers. It is fairly academic in some parts, and a good knowledge of current media theory may help the reader as will knowledge of current technology. I'd recommend the book for anyone currently studying either a technology or media related course, or interested in these issues. You may not agree with some of the writings, but it will make you think and appreciate the feminist point of view in the male dominated world of the Internet.
