General Bibliography: Gender and Technology
This general bibliography on gender and technology is taken, in part, from the bibliography of my Sociology M.A. thesis entitled "The Social Shaping of Virtual Reality: A Feminist Perspective" (Queen's University, 1995). The topics covered in this bibliography include general material on the Sociology of Technology, feminist criticisms and reinterpretations of technology, and theories of the cyborg. This is not exhaustive but acts as a starting point for references into this area of research.
