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.

Women, Gender & Technology,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Women, Gender, and Technology (Paperback)
While the information presented was of interest, my specific goal was to link women and minorities to science and technology implementation rather than use. Many parts of the book were of limited use for my needs. Still looking.
