The unwritten contract of the internet, that a user is what is
used, extends from the well-examined issue of data privacy and
consent to the very selves women are encouraged to create in order
to appear. Invited to self-construct as 'girls online', vloggers,
bloggers and influencers sign a devil's bargain: a platform on the
condition they commodify themselves, eternally youthful, cute and
responsibility-free, hiding offline domestic, professional and
emotional labour while paying for their online presence with
'accounts' of personal 'experience'. Can a Girl Online use these
platforms not only to escape meatspace oppressions, but as spaces
for survival, creativity and resistance? Told via the arresting
personal narrative of one woman negotiating the (cyber)space
between her identities as girl, mother, writer, and commodified
online persona, Girl Online is written in a plethora of the online
styles, from programming language to the blog/diary, from tweets to
lyric prose, taking in selfies, social media, celebrity and
Cyberfeminism.
