An interdisciplinary investigation of the co-creation of gender and technology
Each of the ten chapters in Women, Gender, and Technology explores a different aspect of how gender and technology work--and are at work--in particular domains, including film narratives, reproductive technologies, information technology, and the profession of engineering. The volume's contributors include representatives of over half a dozen different disciplines, and each provides a novel perspective on the foundational idea that gender and technology co-create one another. Together, their articles provide a window on to the rich and complex issues that arise in the attempt to understand the relationship between these profoundly intertwined notions.
"[Rosser's] treatment of issues of workforce, design, and use through these genres of theory is useful for students and others new to thinking about feminism and technology. . . . A solid collection of use to women's studies collections and courses on the social impacts of new technologies. Recommended."--Choice
