A bit of history and early efforts

Steiner attributes the relative success of proto-feminists in getting their messages to the public to the emergence of the printing press. As Steiner indicates, "print well served eighteenth and especially nineteenth century women" (122). Especially during the suffrage movement, periodicals were seen as a tool in voicing women's sense of belonging to a community - this was of utmost importance for the success of women's movement (Steiner 131). The Female Spectator (published 1746 in Dublin) and The Lady's Magazine (published 1759-66 in London) are a few examples of early attempts by women to voice their opinion through independent means (Steiner 122).
The later evolution of printing technologies in the 20th century further allowed for women to develop their own media. Later developments of other media also gave women the chance to exploit "the potential of radio and recording, television, and cable" and I add the Internet to that (Steiner 122). It is also important to notice that the advent of the Internet has allowed feminist alternative media to disseminate its messages across many nations around the world.
