SORIA-GUZMAN, Irene. HACKER WOMEN, KNOW-HOW, AND OPEN SOURCE: WEAVING THE HACKFEMINIST DREAM. LiminaR [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.57-74.  Epub Mar 02, 2021. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v19i1.806.

This article gives a descriptive account of some of the practices and knowledge of women hackers in relation to the mastery and appropriation of specialized computational techniques, based on a feminist methodology that involves the situated exploration of the person conducting this research. These findings, although still in the process of analysis, aim to outline a possible technological appropriation that will contribute to the feminist movement of the 21st century, through the principles of hacker culture, to build a new and viable feminist hacker struggle.

Keywords : hacker feminism; hacker culture; techno-feminism; women and technology; hacktivism; free software; technological appropriation.
