Abstract

The author discusses what feminist theory teaches people about the Internet. According to the author, feminist theory offers technology studies a critique of knowledge production even when women using technology are not the object of study; and feminism treats gender as a question that spreads power relations in all contexts. The author says that digital technologies and Internet communication networks allow a large number of people to access various means of cultural production.
