📝 Book Review & Summary

This book belongs in FemRes because it treats technology as a feminist problem of power, labor, embodiment, and knowledge, not as a neutral tool. For readers, it expands digital feminism beyond representation: Meredith Broussard critiques technochauvinism and reminds readers that not every social problem should be solved with software, data, or automation.

It is especially useful alongside FemRes topics on AI ethics, data justice, digital labor, cyberfeminism, and design justice, where technical systems are read as social arrangements.
