There's a difference here between using the Internet as a tool to work in other areas, and using the Internet as a tool to reshape the Internet itself. Both kinds of work are essential. Some women start out online by connecting with others to work together. Other women start out as individuals, working primarily on their own with some contact and support from other women. There are enough women online, working in enough different areas, that we can almost always find support and community as we work toward our goals.
Women online can be Internet activists, or activists who use the Internet.
We and our organisations are working for change. We are working hard toward our goals, and we are often underfunded or not funded at all. The Internet is a tool which we can use to further our goals, and it is a tool which we are reshaping as we use it. Every time feminist women participate in online discussions, or create a new web site, or add information to an existing web site, we are making and reshaping the Internet, making it a more useful and informative tool for ourselves and for each other. Women's roles online are as diverse as anywhere else in our lives.
