Technofeminism
Despite being a tad outdated now, Wajcman does an incredibly job synthesizing major trends in feminist and technological writing, showing how elements of gender have both informed and (more often) been ignored by scholars working in these fields. Putting these two worlds together results in a nuanced, interesting, and important discussion regarding the role of gender in technology and contemporary technological society. Though the book does not give a broad solution to such problems, Wajcman usefully critiques many other perspectives and offers at least the beginnings of a direction for future work to move towards. There are certainly elements to this book that are dated, but all in all this slim volume reflects a great starting point for discussing a segment of culture and developing technology that has historically been ignored, and which is still fighting to find a voice in the present day.
