“…highlights how network thinking has been a feature of feminist activism and knowledge production even before the advent of the Internet. These platforms have become vital spaces for feminist voices, enabling the dissemination and exchange of ideas at an unprecedented scale (Davis, 2019). The internet has thus played a crucial role in both echoing and challenging traditional feminist narratives, offering a diverse array of perspectives that contribute to a more nuanced understanding of women's issues.…”

This study delves into the evolving landscape of feminist discourse among young Chinese women, as manifested on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), a prominent social media platform in China. Through a qualitative analysis of user-generated content, the research uncovers key themes that reflect the contemporary state of feminist thought and its intersection with the unique socio-cultural dynamics of modern China. These themes include reclaiming autonomy in childbirth, the critical role of economic autonomy as a feminist imperative, the complex interplay between economic independence and feminist ideals, and the reconceptualization of motherhood within traditional and contemporary narratives. The study reveals a nuanced tapestry of perspectives, highlighting the progress and challenges in the feminist movement, the evolving understanding of women’s roles and identities, and the unique blend of global feminist ideologies with local cultural contexts. This research contributes to the broader discourse on feminism, offering insights into the diverse and dynamic ways young Chinese women engage with and shape feminist thought in the digital age.

“…In recent years, social media platforms have played a leading role in the rise of the feminist movement and its presence in the public sphere at both national and international levels, being the main engine of the fourth wave of feminism (Zimmerman, 2017). These networks and their ecosystems have introduced new methods of communication and organization that have influenced how the movement has developed in recent years, allowing, among others, the transformation of individual into collective discourses, the inclusion of a multiplicity of voices and dialogues (Baer, 2016;Clark, 2014;Davis, 2019), and the democratization of the public sphere. Social media platforms are also the core of the new feminist organizations, giving them a sense of connectedness with other feminists, facilitating the contribu-tion towards a common identity, and establishing a networked, counter-public sphere for debates (Calhoun, 2011;Edwards et al, 2019;Williams, 2016).…”

Online social media present unprecedented opportunities and challenges for a range of organizing processes such as information sharing, knowledge creation, collective action, and post-disaster resource mobilization. Concepts and tools of network research can help highlight key aspects of online interaction. This editorial introduction frames the thematic issue along three themes of networked processes: identity and identification; interaction patterns in online communities; and challenges and cautionary notes concerning social media organizing. A diverse range of country contexts, as well as theoretical and methodological approaches illustrated in this issue, represent the multifaceted research that scholars can undertake to understand networked organizing on social media.

In recent years, social media platforms have become a popular tool for feminist activists and the main medium of communication for new feminist organizations to gain higher visibility. However, along with opportunities, they also bring a reshaping of communication forms and challenges in the modes of organization of these groups, which seek to transform the prevailing individualist logic of the mediated social media landscape into a collective identity. Through the findings of qualitative, semi-structured interviews and the analysis of the content published online, this article looks at the structures of interactions and organizing processes in the social media accounts of new Spanish feminist groups. The findings show that although the committees are aware of the importance of an online presence, they face many obstacles in the creation of collective profiles due to the lack of guidelines, having no clear organized steps on how to post content with consensus within each committee, and the many demands of the speed-driven nature of social media platforms.
