Charlotte's Web for Carlie and Feminism (or Friendship)
I am going to use EBSCOhost, a database resource, in order to find a connection between Charlotte's Web and feminism.
EBSCO Databases. Provides full-text for over 1,250 academic journals, and full-text articles can be found back to January 1990. Over half the journals are peer-reviewed.
First, I have to tell you that the first hit, when I searched '"Charlotte's Web" and femin*,' was "'Charlotte's web': reading Jane Eyre over time." I thought that was pretty ironic.
Then, I searched for '"Charlotte's Web" and wom*.' I found an article about how a woman used the internet to form positive relationships. This article was called, ""Charlotte’s Web:" How One Woman Weaves Positive Relationships on the Net."
Here is the citation for the source:
Biggs, S. "Charlotte's Web: How One Woman Weaves Positive Relationships
on the Net." CyberPsychology & Behavior 3.4 (2000)Print.
The article describes a woman's journey making friends while on the internet, discussing how it changed her relationship with herself and others.
I know Carlie is focusing on the aspect of friendship for Charlotte's Web. I thought this was a good connection between her book and friendship in the digital age.
