Women on the net: An exploratory study of gender dynamics on the soc.women computer network

My goal in this project was to illuminate some of the workings of gender in computer-mediated interactions. I observed that, although much of the research on electronic communication valorized the media's ability to foster open and democratic exchanges, little of this research actually took gender into account. In this project, attention was paid to women's experiences of computer-mediated interaction in the Soc.women computer network newsgroup.
