[Air-l] sources on gendering of technology?

[Mia Consalvo]

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
