This important volume examines European perspectives on the
historical relations that women have maintained with information
and communication technologies (ICTs), since the telegraph.
Features: describes how gendered networks have formed around ICT
since the late 19th Century; reviews the gendered issues revealed
by the conflict between the actress Ms Sylviac and the French
telephone administration in 1904, or by 'feminine' blogs; examines
how gender representations, age categories, and uses of ICT
interact and are mutually formed in children's magazines;
illuminates the participation of women in the early days of
computing, through a case study on the Rothamsted Statistics
Department; presents a comparative study of women in computing in
France, Finland and the UK, revealing similar gender divisions
within the ICT professions of these countries; discusses diversity
interventions and the part that history could (and should) play to
ensure women do not take second place in specific occupational
sectors.
