Feminism confronts technology5/19/2023 She surveys sociological and feminist literature on technology, highlighting the male bias in the way technology is defined as well as developed. Wajcman argues that the identification between men and machines is not immutable but is the result of ideological and cultural processes. Popular stereotypes depict women as technologically incompetent or invisible in technical spheres. 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.
