misbehaving.net is an interesting new blog about women in technology:
“It’s a celebration of women’s contributions to computing; a place to spotlight women’s contributions as well point out new opportunities and challenges for women in the computing field.”
Looks like it will be well worth following. Thanks to Cory Doctorow for pointing this out.
what a great contribution this site is… thanks for posting the link… brings to the consciousness again, a realisation of the gendered nature of technology.
it reminds me of an interesting international anthology publ. by spinifex press australia, called “cyberfeminism” (ed. susan hawthorne and renate klein). presents the thinking of feminists working in the fields of electronic publishing, data delivery, multimedia, virtual campus, program development etc.
grapples with the dominant discourses and pitfalls of the medium.
i am also reminded that we presume much about both the intention of … and the manner in which technology is developed
my interest lies in examining which voices are privileged as we advance (?) our society.
