Abstract

Internet usage is not as widely distributed among females as among males (Internet Gender Gap). Additionally, there are gender-specific differences in the breadth and type of Internet appropriation (Gendered Digital Inequalities). Therefore, a series of initiatives attempt to ease Internet access for girls and women and to increase their Internet competence (for example www.frauen-ans-netz.de). The practical handbook takes this one step further and does not only wish to incite Internet usage but also active Internet design in terms of creating new virtual networks of girls and women. The book approaches the technological, economic, social, psychological, and gender-political aspects of these networks illustrated by examples.
