Abstract
Feminism is the body of social movements for the protection of women's rights. With the transfer of feminist activities to the online environment, the concept of digital feminism emerged, and women's rights started to be defended online. The aim of this study is to analyze the articles dealing with the subject of “digital feminism” in the Web of Science and Scopus databases taking various parameters into account. For this purpose, the bibliometric method was utilized, and 53 articles which addressed digital feminism between the years 1975-2021 were examined. This study is the first to discuss digital feminism using bibliometric analysis. In this respect, it is thought that the study will contribute to the literature and will be a reference for researchers.
