Technofeminist Storiographies: Women, Information Technology, and
Cultural Representation analyzes both historical and contemporary
accounts of women's lived experiences of technology, from Ada
Lovelace and Hedy Lamarr to women working across the tech industry
today, and juxtaposes them with larger cultural representations of
women and technology. The book explores both the relationship
between gender and technology and the cultural contexts that enable
and constrain that relationship, questions that call for
opportunities for women to share their lived experiences and to
have such experiences represented across media genres. Despite the
rich, complex stories and histories women have with technology-as
programmers, inventors, and workers-media throughout history,
including film, television, games, toys, children's books, and
biographies, often inadequately and inaccurately represent them.
Throughout the book, Kristine Blair chronicles the portrayal of the
relationship between women and information technology across these
media genres. Inevitably, the societal conditions that surround
technology use-including portrayal through popular media-impact the
extent to which women and girls gain and maintain access within
those cultural contexts. This book calls for a more visible history
of women's technological achievements in which their stories are
heard for generations to come, rather than be forgotten and
unknown.
