Abstract

“Women’s web sites,” such as Oxygen and iVillage are for the most part absent from discussions of rhetoric and electronic communication. However, these sites accumulate a significant number of the hours women log online. This article argues that it is important to recognize the exchange and creation of knowledge by and for women that is taking place at women’s online resource venues. We also offer productive ways of viewing and discussing these sites as pedagogical tools in the writing classroom.
