Feminist Cyberlaw

This vibrant and visionary reimagining of the field of cyberlaw through a feminist lens brings together emerging and established scholars and practitioners to explore how gender, race, sexuality, disability, class, and the intersections of these identities affect cyberspace and the laws that govern it. It promises to build a movement of scholars whose work charts a near future where cyberlaw is informed by feminism.

“This intellectually exciting collection seamlessly draws together highly original research and reflections on the perils and potential of technology—and imagines the digital futures that might be possible if we heed the insights of feminist scholars.” — ALONDRA NELSON, Institute for Advanced Study

“An indispensable resource for legal scholars and practitioners alike attempting to understand how the internet could live up to its true democratic ideals.” — IFEOMA AJUNWA, author of The Quantified Worker: Law and Technology in the Modern Workplace

“A welcome and brilliant collection that we need now more than ever. Expertly showing how rules for digital technologies have always been about bodies, social dynamics, and power, these contributions provide an urgent and compelling demonstration of how cyberlaw often loses the thread—and of how to do better.” — WOODROW HARTZOG, author of Privacy’s Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies

“Scholarly yet engaging, broad in scope yet cogent in argument, and critical yet hopeful. A must‑read.”—ARI EZRA WALDMAN, author of Industry Unbound: The Inside Story of Privacy, Data, and Corporate Power
