This book critically examines the ever-evolving relationship between gender, identity and technology, investigating how identity is shaped, expressed, and contested within virtual environments. It brings together empirical essays from various geographies including Israel, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Brazil, and India, to explore how gender constructs, religiosity, social support structures, ethical discourses, biases and toxicity weave into the digital fabric. While the digital space can build community and open up liberating possibilities, it also retains echoes of real-world social and gender dynamics. The absence of the physical body does not shield virtual spaces from deeply entrenched socio-cultural and political contexts. Through an exploration of different virtual platforms and digital apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Tinder among others, the book invites readers to contemplate the boundless possibilities and pressing challenges that arise when gendered experiences converge with the infinite expanse of the virtual space(s). The chapters in this volume offer great analytical insights into these dynamics supported by well-surmised theoretical and methodological backdrops.
