Harcourt, Wendy, ed.
Women (a) internet: creating new cultures in cyberspace. London: Zed Books, 1999. 240 p.
The book analyzes the emerging cultural characteristics of women's activities on the Internet across the
globe. The first half of the book reflects on the type of cyberculture women are creating including the
borders, exclusions and silences they encounter. Part two presents women forging new frontiers,
working with the new communication and information technologies in their local and global settings.
Throughout, the emphasize is on the dynamism of culture and of communication; the contributors
demonstrate how the Internet can be used to empower women to negotiate the global and make it a
local space and, conversely, to inform and change global cultures.
