Het zal weinig opzien baren wanneer technologie als 'mannelijk' wordt gekwalificeerd, maar de stelling dat deze uitspraak historisch bepaald en pas sinds kort 'waar' is, zal meer stof doen opwaaien. Making Technology Masculine brengt in kaart op welke wijze mannen beslag legden op de technologie als hun exclusieve domein en onderzoekt hoe vrouwen dit mannelijke overwicht op alternatieve wijze p…
