Abstract: Women do not access and use the Internet to the extent or in ways that men do. In this small survey in South India, this generalisation was reinforced. Women are marginalised by their own anxieties, roles and beliefs rooted in traditional norms as well as by illiteracy and economic circumstances. The media too are responsible for skewing women’s self-perceptions which hinder their use of the Internet.
