            Abstract
            This volume examines how Chinese women negotiate the Internet as a research tool and a strategy for the acquisition of information, as well as for social networking purposes. Offering insight into the complicated creation of a female Chinese cybercommunity, Chinese Women and the Cyberspace discusses the impact of increasingly available Internet technology on the life and lifestyle of Chinese women-examining larger issues of how women become both masters of their electronic domain and the objects of exploitation in a faceless online world. University of Hong Kong.
             
            In een snel veranderende wereld, zijn vrouwen in de Volksrepubliek China in harmonie met digitale innovaties en het gebruik van verschillende vormen van moderne massacommunicatiemiddelen zoals het Internet en mobiele telefoon. Vrouwen in China en de Chinese diaspora maken gebruik van de vooruitgang in de informatietechnologie om hun persoonlijke en maatschappelijke positie te verbeteren. Dit boek onderzoekt hoe Chinese vrouwen zich verhouden tot het Internet als een bron en strategie voor het verkrijgen van informatie en netwerke. Op die manier wordt er een cybergemeenschap gevormd. Voorts bestudeert Chinese Women and the Cyberspace de impact van deze technologieën op het leven en de levenstijlen van deze vrouwen. Verder wordt gekeken hoe vrouwen een object van uitbuiting worden in de cyberspace. Kuah-Pearce khun Eng is universitair docent en hoofd van de afdeling Sociologie en academisch ere-directeur van het Centre for Anthropological Research aan de Universiteit van Hong Kong.
