<title>Women &amp; everyday uses of the Internet : agency &amp; identity / edited by Mia Consalvo &amp; Susanna Paasonen.</title>
<description>This text consists of three sections regarding women's use of the internet.&amp;nbsp; Part One deals with the definition of gender as part of a user's identity on the net, in particular for internet gamers (Paasonen)&amp;nbsp;and female professionals (Dorer)&amp;nbsp; The second part concerns how women are addresses as consumers of the internet and networks, with examples from online communities like Oprah.Com (Cooks/Paredes/Scharrer) and other women's websites (Gustafson).&amp;nbsp; Part Three gives examples of everyday uses of the internet for bringing girls and women together, and also discusses the problems and strategies inherent for lesbians online (Poster).&amp;nbsp; Finally, the fourth and last part talks about gender and new media in the contexts of the school, politics, and television viewing.&amp;nbsp; This looks to be a very interesting text from a sociological perspective which can supplement the other linguistic texts in the bibliography.</description>
