The Book 

The book Internet non è un posto per femmine is a hybrid essay, halfway between personal reportage and political analysis. Through a story that weaves individual experience and collective dimension, Semenzin explores risks and opportunities of the contemporary web. Among phenomena like tradwives and incels, hacker activists and cyberfeminism theories, the book proposes a feminist guide to understand and consciously inhabit the complex digital ecosystem of 2026. A text that invites asking who has power online, who is silenced, and how to build more equitable and safe virtual spaces.
