Networked Feminism – How Digital Media Makers Transformed Gender Justice Movements

"Networked Feminism is a timely investigation of how digital-media technologies continue to transform feminist activism online and on the ground. Like the dispatches of an embedded reporter, Clark-Parsons's work brings readers inside the lives of a new generation of activists. The culmination of years of qualitative research carried out with individual activists and organizations, this book explores the complexity of engaging in activism on platforms that often work both for and against women. Networked Feminism is a welcome addition to emerging scholarship on networked feminism and networked activism."--Kate Eichhorn, author of The End of Forgetting: Growing Up with Social Media

"In this important, exciting, and timely book, Clark-Parsons takes readers through the ways that digital technologies have helped reconfigure social and political life. Through in-depth explorations of six case studies, including the 2017 Washington Women's Day March, the #MeToo movement, zine communities, and other grassroots initiatives, Clark-Parsons shows the power of self-produced feminist media to challenge oppressive gender norms, laying the groundwork for new feminist communities, solidarities, and consciousnesses. This is a key book for those interested in the recent history of digital feminism and offers crucial insights for thinking about its future."--Kaitlynn Mendes, coauthor of Digital Feminist Activism: Girls and Women Fight Back against Rape Culture
