An Introduction

Praise for Gender and Technology: An Introduction "This beautifully written history of technology, presented through the lens of gender, offers an exceptional amount of information and insight. It will delight and inspire both experts and those new to the topic." – Nancy Baym, Partner Research Manager, Microsoft Research "A masterclass in unpacking the taken-for-granted, this book traces how technologies are gendered - and how gender is technologized - in ways that shape everything from children's toys to our most intimate relationships with domestic space." – Alice E. Marwick, Research Director, Data & Society "Critically astute and wide-ranging, this engaging and accessible text reveals the centrality of gender politics within everyday technologies." – Kylie Jarrett, University College Dublin
