Produktbeschreibung

Is there such a thing as a 'feminist technology'? If so, what makes a technology feminist? Is it in the design process, in the thing itself, in the way it is marketed, or in the way it is used by women? This title considers these questions by examining a range of products, tools, and technologies that were specifically designed for women.
