Suggestion

Hi,

I really like that you're focusing on feminism in the digital realm, which can be quite male-dominated at times. I'm thinking maybe it would be a good idea to give some examples on why feminism is needed in the digital world and how feminism is address those issues? Like Wikipedia entries are usually written by and about men, but there are projects like the Art+Feminism edit-a-thon, which aims to add more content to Wikipedia about women in the art world. Other than that, I think your topic is great and I really enjoyed reading it!

Thanks! I'll be sure to add more information about how digital feminism provides a space for women to be in control of their own conversation and dialogue relating to feminist issues.

I have attempted to source all my information from the original grassroots organizers (predominantly women) of these digital activist movements in my references as the time they put into creating their blogs and spaces for knowledge is super important and should not be erased. I have done so as a way to condemn their efforts, and make sure their ideas are being credited and not just regurgitated in articles written often by men!

It's great to source your information from the original grassroots organizers, it's true that many women's ideas go uncredited and appropriated in articles written by men. So I think it's great that you're tackling this topic, I feel like the internet can be a very discouraging place for women and feminists, but there's also a lot of work being done to change that.

Exclude "to conclude"

Hi! Your article is very well written and super informative. My only suggestion is to perhaps change the "to conclude" at the very end (under the heading "conclusion"). It reads more as an essay and not an wiki page. Other than that everything looks super polished! Great job!

I have changed the sub heading title, I agree it did seem a bit out of place. Thank you!

Hi Aumber,

I really enjoyed reading your contribution! it is interesting to see how you pointed out the use of hashtags as the main source for people to find solidarity. It would be better if you could add more statistics about the number of women that opened up about their experiences. Overall, the layout and the information is really great!

Thanks for your feedback! I have added a new heading with information about some popular hashtags including their statistics. Thank you for the helpful idea.
