Scholars and practitioners in this volume tackle various facets of the issue, presenting an array of research, experiences, and case studies that span the globe. This knowledge lends itself to potential policy considerations in tackling inequalities and threats with gendered implications in cyber space towards digital spaces that are safe and equal.

This book is a must-read for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to expand their knowledgeon the gendered threats in digital space and potential remedies against them.

Rezensionen
"This work could not be timelier. Gender is so often a key element to the way online spaces (mal)function, and integral to the misinformative narratives bad actors co-opt to misuse them, so it's striking that our collective response to online governance has tended to side-line gendered perspectives. These attacks - which are usually pre-meditated for political gain, and spurred by the predatory algorithmic practices of social media platforms - discourage women from seeking roles in politics, thereby undermining the foundations of our democracy in ways that call for urgent redress. Through this important work, Haciyakupoglu and Wong have made commendable interdisciplinary strides in closing this research gap by interrogating how gender, the internet, and security intersect."---Lucina Di Meco (She/Her), Co-founder, https://www.she-persisted.org/
