Keywords:
Cyberfeminism, Education, Information and communication technologies, Internet, WomenAbstract
The game is played today in the technological sectors because they are the ones that produce the most added value today, the most demanded and the ones that will determine the agenda of the most powerful companies, institutions and nations in the world. What role do women play in this new world? Will she be able to intervene and lead this unstoppable technological process? This study analyses the evolution of cyberfeminism, the theories behind it and its different aspects. The digital gaps show that the factual powers are transferred to the technological world in which women, at the moment, still have a secondary role. Cyberfeminism rebels against this situation want to empower female with the strengths of technology to lead this new world and eliminate the old barriers and dichotomies of sex, gender, race or economic power. It highlights the role of education to build educational feminism based on technology equality with the contributions of what we have called positive cyberfeminism.
