dc.descriptionThis article explores how African women have embraced the blogging phenomenon, and how blogs can be used to promote women's equality and empowerment. One of the reasons frequently cited for a lack of interest by African women in information and communications technologies (ICTs) is the lack of content available that is relevant to their needs. Blogging provides a way for women to become active creators and disseminators of knowledge, writing about what is important to them. As we explore how African women are using blogs, we will also examine the obstacles to blogging, and why some women are not attracted to the technology. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.
