But Catherine Knight Steele argues that Black women's relationship to technology began long before the advent of Twitter or Instagram. To truly listen to Black women Steele points to the history of Black feminist technoculture in the United States and its ability to decenter white supremacy and patriarchy in a conversation about the future of technology. Using the virtual beauty shop as a metaphor Digital Black Feminism walks readers through the technical skill communicative expertise and entrepreneurial acumen of Black women's labor born of survival strategies and economic necessity both on and offline. Positioning Black women at the center of our discourse about the past present and future of technology Steele offers a through - line from the writing of early twentieth - century Black women to the bloggers and social media mavens of the twenty - first century. She makes connections among the letters news articles and essays of Black feminist writers of the past and a digital archive of blog posts tweets and Instagram stories of some of the most well - known Black feminist writers of our time. Linking narratives and existing literature about Black women's technology use in the nineteenth twentieth and twenty - first century Digital Black Feminism traverses the bounds between historical and archival analysis and empirical internet studies forcing a reconciliation between fields and methods that are not always in conversation. As the work of Black feminist writers now reaches its widest audience online Steele offers both hopefulness and caution on the implications of Black feminism becoming a digital product.
