This is episode 1 of the podcast This Feminist Internet Life: FTX Stories of Collaboration, Creativity and Care.
This podcast starts in the Huairou district in China, where the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) was part of a 40-woman team who set up, in 1995, a communication centre during the UN Fourth World Conference on Women. Run by women volunteers, the “women’s tent” – as it’s remembered – connected the diverse women from the conference to the rest of the world, plenty of them discovering the internet for the first time! In this episode, we hear from incredible women who were there and left their mark on feminist technology to this day.
