Rezensionen

'...issues dealt with in a variety of contexts, and styles; from the poetic to the scientific by way of the intellectually rigorous and stopping off at the mildly surreal along the way. This makes the book very approachable for the target audience of Masters students, and also for undergraduates.' - Fin McMorran, University of Northumbria.

Undoubtedly there is plenty of interest in this book on the role of science and technology in women's lives.' - Alexandra Murrell, The Feminist Library, 2001
