Abstract title: Third World perspectives on cyberfeminism
Author:

Radhika Gajjala

Issue: Volume 9, Number 5 1999

Cyberfeminists share the belief that women should take control of and appropriate the use of cybertechnologies in an attempt to empower ourselves. The author argues that the demystification of technology is necessary, but not sufficient, for empowerment (or re-empowerment, a term she prefers) since mainstream cyberfeminism fails to address the complexities of the lived contexts of women in the South.
