Take Back The Tech
For some reason, the subject of women and technology seems to have come to the fore today. First, I got a comment on an entry in my other blog about women and technology, which gave me a heads up on some very good blogging going on about the topic. Ethan Zuckerman (I need to read that blog more) had a great post about gender and ICT. And there is a post by Justine Cassell at the Macarthur Foundation Spotlight site on “Disempowering girls as users of technology”.
Then, somehow, I ended up surfing to the site called “Take Back the Tech.” Take back the tech is campaign to use technology to fight violence against women. They are having a 16 day blogathon (it started on the 25th). I can’t commit to blogging about violence against women for 16 days, but I can at least commit to spreading the word.
