The aim of this book is to provide an understanding of the ways in which gender is inscribed and reproduced through information and communication technologies (ICTs). An edited collection, it is organised in four sections:
'Identity and Self' examines transgender identities and the increasingly common phenomenon of gender switching in virtual reality.
'Gendered Access and Experience of ICTs and the Internet' looks at empirical research findings on gender and the internet and the complexity of women's experiences of technology.
'Leisure, Pleasure and Consumption' continues this theme within the leisure arena.
'Space, Time and Citizens in the Community' investigates such issues as computer ethics, women's information technology groups and the political economy of time in the information society.
As yet there is relatively little published on women's activities in relation to new digital technologies. Virtual Gender brings together theoretical perspectives from feminist theory, the sociology of technology and gender studies with well designed empirical studies to throw new light on the impact of ICTs on contemporary social life.
