Abstract

This chapter explores the use of online education among minoritized women in pursuit of higher education. The chapter is scoped literature review of the current matters that minoritized women experience while pursuing an online education as well as anecdotal case studies of women's journeys of attending and working at online higher education institutions. Online education has made education accessible. Online education is flexible compared to the traditional format. As more minoritized women and non-traditional students utilized the advantages and convenience of online education, the more learning institutions are created. Since online education was instituted and became mainstream, it is available and accessible for all races, ethnicities, and genders. COVID-19 exacerbated issues of being able to access Wi-Fi in public spaces. Given that many online students are balancing multiple roles and responsibilities while pursuing their education, this balancing act illustrates the students' strength, persistence, and their commitment to obtaining an education.
