"The use of the term 'cyberfeminism' can be traced back to 1991, the year some call the birth of the internet. Broadly speaking, it refers to a collection of emancipatory theories and practices that foster an alliance between feminists and technology. In March 2019, designer and researcher @mindyseu⁠ tweeted, 'I’m creating a cyberfeminist index,' and shared a link to a spreadsheet she hoped would become a site of collaboration. As the spreadsheet grew to nearly seven hundred rows—at a time when info-activism and open-access libraries proved crucial to consciousness-raising in the context of global exigencies like the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests—Seu used the data to create an easy-to-search website, cyberfeminismindex.com. In January 2023, Seu again repackaged the data as a book, 'Cyberfeminism Index,' this time hacking the strictures of academia by challenging the perceived primacy of printed matter over identical open-source content.…"⁠ ⁠ Read up on 'Cyberfeminism Index,' published by @inventorypress in today's @brooklynrail via linkinbio⁠ Reviewed by Jenny Wu @safflower_lady⁠ ⁠ #cyberfeminism #cyberfeminismindex #mindyseu⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CqYrYlgJ2H6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Get smart with 'Cyberfeminism Index,' Mindy Seu's galvanizing (to say the least) 608-page compendium of radical techno-critical activism by hackers, scholars, artists and activists of all races, religions and sexual orientations, published by the big-picture-thinkers at @inventorypress⁠ ⁠ @mindyseu⁠ writes, “As of this printing, the 'Cyberfeminism Index' traces three decades of global cyberfeminism. But, like cyberfeminism itself—permeable, malleable, and anti-canonical—the index is still in progress. More than a historical overview, this publication was initiated by and is being released into a specific context, one in which platform oligopolies reign supreme, surveillance capitalism commodifies us, and techno-dystopia looms. Its existence reflects that reality. The book is also imperfect: the version printed here is messy, with blindspots and selected truths. Despite my collaborators’ and my attempted thoroughness in gathering the entries herein, many voices are left unaccounted for. Still, as a compilation of a wide sample of techno-critical works, the 'Cyberfeminism Index' might reveal potential for acts we can take to reclaim cyberspace not as a utopia, but as a space for skepticism, growth and entanglement. Here, multiple histories diverge, juxtaposing and complementing their varying ideologies and motivations, and they will continue to beyond these pages. This is not the index of cyberfeminism, but a document of—and another moment of—its mutation.”⁠ ⁠ Contributors include: @skawennati Charlotte Web, Melanie Hoff, Constanza Pina, Melissa Aguilar, Cornelia Sollfrank, Paola Ricaurte Quijano, @marymaggic Neema Githere, Helen Hester, Annie Goh, @vns_matrix Klau Chinche / Klau Kinky and Irina Aristarkhova.⁠ ⁠ ⁠Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #mindyseu #cyberfeminismindex #cyberfeminism #technoactivism #cyberactivism⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnUoF6uYn9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
