Line 74:
CyberFeminism as a movement started in the early 1990s with the rise of the internet in the Western world and elements of its ideas date back to the 1970s with the Radical Feminist movement. The movement created several artistic collectives which are still around to this day such as VNS Matrix. The CyberFeminist movement is said to have ended in the early 2000s with the dissolution of many CyberFeminist organizations and the discontinuation of the CyberFeminist Internationale.
===Influences===
CyberFeminism is strongly influenced by the Radical Feminist movement of the 70s second wave of Feminism. Taking the ideas Shulamith Firestone had of world free from the biological slavery women were forced into via their ability to give birth. Another big influence was Donna Harraway who introduced certain elements of Post-Modern analysis to the ideas Shulamith Firestone had created and this resulted in what Firestone essentially predicted would happen: Cyborgian Feminism. This is the corpus of Proto-CyberFeminism.
But CyberFeminism isn't simply defined by the parts that it took up from its then unnamed predecessor, it included elements both of Deleuze using his ideas of rhizomes to great effect.
===Proto-CyberFeminism===
The intellectual origins of CyberFeminism can be found in writers of [[File:2WF.png]] Second Wave Feminism.
