Does technology liberate women and encourage equality, or are the new technologies reinforcing sexual divisions in society? Does the problem lie in men's monopoly of technology, or is technology itself in some sense inherently patriarchal? To answer these questions, Judy Wajcman explores what the impact of technology is on the lives of women today. In the first major study of its kind, Judy Wajcman challenges the common assumption that technology is gender neutral and analyzes its influence on the lives of women. ![]() Storybound by Emily McKay5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, the 2024 draft is still 12 months away, and there is a lot still to learn about the class.
