Are modern technologies gendered?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this comprehensive text, Holly Kruse explores how notions of gender and technology have been socially constructed. Organized historically, the book provides a sweeping overview of global developments in technology and how these technologies have been (ideologically) gendered. Focusing on communication and media technologies and analysing an array of household and workplace technologies the text examines the ways in which these technologies have been considered \"feminine\" or \"masculine\". These associations, as the text reveals, often have little to do with the complexity of the technology. The book is rich with historical and contemporary examples - from bicycles and washing machines to the telegraph and the computer. Wide-ranging and illuminating, \u003ci\u003eGender and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e encourages us to take a closer look at how and why modern technologies are gendered. By understanding the origins of our ideas about gender and technology, we can see how they have and have not changed over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis text is essential reading for undergraduates taking courses on gender and technology, and will be of interest to general readers who want to learn more about the historical relationship between gender and technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holly Kruse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509531459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509531455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Holly Kruse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47931062681855,"sku":"9781509531455","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46e0178f-cdfc-4347-96cb-3cd0b3d988d8.jpg?v=1766346190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-and-technology-holly-kruse-9781509531455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
