hi Stephanie, There's also the classic *Gender on the line* by Lana Rakow (1992), which looks specifically at the gendering of the telephone. In addition to the other excellent suggestions, I'd also point you to work by Donna Haraway, and some of the chapters in a book I co-edited with Susanna Paasonen- Women and everyday uses of the Internet. Cheers, Mia On 7/19/07, Tuszynski, Stephanie <stuszyn@utnet.utoledo.edu> wrote:
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
