Abstract
SUMMARY Computerized interactions, while allowing for experimentation, are not yet unrestrained by patriarchal culture. Relying upon empirical findings and journalistic insights, this article explains who inhabits cyberspace; how it feels to live there; women's negative experiences, including sexual harassment, and feminist possibilities of the Internet. Criticism of the “boy's club” atmosphere of the electronic highway is tempered by a description of “woman space” on the Net, the possibility of bending or dissembling gender, electronic resources for lesbians and other women, information about female hackers, and a discussion of cybersex. We end with a consideration of the implications of cyberspace for feminist activists and therapists.
