Abstract

This paper examines how gender impacts upon the participation women fiction authors in different communities of practice. While some communities of practice may provide valuable supports, in other instances, women may be systemically marginalized. The development of social media is also creating new opportunities and challenges for participation in virtual communities of practice for women writers.
