| Abstract/Summary |
This chapter uses a feminist cultural studies perspective to analyse debates about the relevance of gender in weblog use. It argues that generalisations about the so-called 'trivial' content of women's blogs are of little use to the extent that they leave the apparently opposite term - 'political' - undefined. The chapter aims to situate discussions about gender and political participation within a wider historical and intellectual framework. In doing so, it suggests that both gender and blogging reflect broader social anxieties about an expanding public sphere.
