Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the networking process as one that is key for the creation and increase of symbolic capital, as well as for the realisation of the social visibility and influence of women’s academic work. The difficulties of the networking of women academics in the neoliberal 21st century labour market are analysed: exile and migration, the precariat, as well as the generation gap and ageism. These problems show that modern academia has become a highly competitive neoliberal field of mutual competition in which the process of female academic networking is conditioned by the laws of the neoliberal labour market. The paper highlights the necessity of renewing feminist history and resisting silent strategies of (re)programming women’s knowledge networks: strategies designed to re-obstruct the hard-won social visibility and influence of women’s academic work.
