About the Book

One of the biggest myths of the nineties is the notion of the Internet as a boys' club. Maybe so during the online stone age of the eighties, but those days are over! Women from all over the world are now trekking through the Net to communicate, work, learn and play, as well as to extend their own femme culture into the wired world - the world that now belongs to Net Chicks. Net Chicks are progressive women empowered by their access to and knowledge of the Internet. They aren't afraid to explore the digital jungle, finding that this medium offers unlimited avenues to new information, communication, and entertainment. Female pioneers of cyberculture - such as St Jude (author of The Cyberpunk Handbook and a former editor of Mondo 2000 magazine), Stacy Horn (founder of the online salon Echo), and Lisa Palac (producer of the Cd trilogy Cyborgasm and former editor of Future Sex magazine) - have not only helped forge online culture but are adding to it a vast sphere of resources for women. Carla Sinclair's Net Chick is for the young, hip, post-feminist cross-section of the Net community, those eager to tear down the no girls allowed sign from the digital treehouse. One look at Sinclair's definitive book - a guide to online grrrl culture, with interviews, articles, Netiquette, and a source for great grrrl Websites - will clue you in to her orientation: Sinclair is inquisitive, irreverent, adventurous, with a refreshing jargon-free approach to explaining technology. You'll find fabulous tips in here for all kinds of Net Chicks: entrepreneurs, technophiles, alternative-lifestyle devotees, fashionmongers, world travellers (Australian Net Chicks are interviewed), romantics, media ,music fiends and computer novices. Most important, it claims territory: Sinclair's pioneer spirit and all-together attitude make it easy to see the Internet as an infinite source of feminine possibility. Carla Sinclair is editor in chief and co-founder of Boing Boing, a pop-culture magazine for the techno-savvy. A frequent contributor to Wired and co-author of The Happy Mutant Handbook, she lives near Los Angeles.
