Inhalt: "This article provides a selective overview of feminist research conducted since information technologies were introduced into the first workplaces at the end of the 1970s. It offers a synthesis of this literature and highlights some of the key theoretical and empirical contributions which have advanced our understanding of the gender-technology relationship. Specifically, the article examines the two-fold nature of the gendertechnology relationship and the way in which this has been theorized and examined empirically. It considers some impact studies of information technology upon gendered divisions of labour and gender relations, and outlines some of the intellectual advances that have been made in our understanding of the sexual division of labour through these studies. It also considers the growing volume of work dealing with the shaping of information technology (IT) at work by gender, and in particular the growing range of empirical studies which have charted this shaping, both of technological artefacts and of processes of technological change more broadly."
