Katherine T. Durack's "Gender, Technology, and the History of Technical Communication" may be too tech-comm for your purposes, but it does include a discussion of women as both contributors and users of technology.

Hi everyone -
I was hoping some people could suggest some sources on the subject of gendering technology? I'm thinking in particular of research that looked at things like "women use the phone to gossip while men use it for business" and so forth.
References that talk about using the Internet for "information gathering" versus social activity would also be helpful.
Thanks
