ABSTRACT
While contemporary women’s movements may be less visible in the streets, they have found a new frontier in cyberspace. Consciousness raising has graduated from small groups of women in their kitchens, sitting rooms and community centres to the Internet, and the local has become the global. My chapter looks at the new possibilities the Internet has opened up for women’s movements and presents a case study of the research done by a Canadian organisation called Womenspace. It argues that cyberfeminism is flourishing rather than representing a movement in abeyance, reinforcing the view that women’s movements cannot be defined by a particular repertoire of collective action.
