ABSTRACT
This chapter is a short exploration of the world of Net Chicks and geekgirls, cyberfeminists, NerdGrrrls and digital Sojourners. It is also a modest intervention in a debate about women and new information/ communication technologies. 1 The chapter describes networks of women's presence on the World Wide Web, 2 in particular those which use the medium for feminist purposes, or other radical cultural projects of resistance such as the creation of grrrl space. However, configurations of hardware and software change rapidly, and Web presences are in a constant process of transformation, so this contribution is a static snapshot of an evolving social and technological situation. This piece can also be read as a story about relationships, as well as an HTML document. 3 Embedded within global electronic networks are both the hypertext and personal links which I have formed during the initial stages of the Octavia Project, a project to create in the UK a set of resources on gender and technology on the Web. 4
