This entry provides a definition of and a historical perspective on cyberfeminism, the digital feminist movement that arose in Australia, Canada, and England at the beginning of the 1990s and expanded thereafter. This movement promoted the need for women to interact through the World Wide Web to achieve gender equality in the access and production of Web‐based content. However, cyberfeminism also embraced the broader context of women‐oriented technology, including the biomedical realm and its implications for the modification of the traditional conception of a woman's body and identity. The article also provides a concise summary of the main ideas put forward by Sadie Plant, Donna J. Haraway, and Virginia Berret, some of the major contributors to the development of cyberfeminist thought
