Future of Feminism
I just found this really interesting article about the large number of people who have blogs (and myspace pages, etc.) and who use the internet regularly, and what that means for feminism.
I like that Gugelmeyer recognizes that the internet is a shifty place, tracking personal information and promoting consumer spending, but also acknowledges that it is a place of connection, of unity. If so many people are using it and communicating through it, then the feminist movement should be actively participating in "social networks, blogs, email and all the tools of the internet."
I wonder how the face of feminism will change in this new century, and what part blogs will play in the change?
