This book builds on existing research in relation to gender in the digital world, focusing on representation, engagement and expression. The contributors deal with a wide range of issues that address three specific themes: social media, body image and identity; feminist activism; and gender and digital narratives. In doing so, they raise important questions about the impact of digital media in everyday life, and make connections between theory and empirical accounts of gender and technology.
Barbara Mitra is senior lecturer in Media and Culture at the University of Worcester. Sharon Young is course leader in English Literature at the University of Worcester. Mehreen Mirza is associate dean in the Faculty of Arts, Society and Professional Studies at Newman University, Birmingham.
