Books/Journal Issues about Women and Information Technology
Looking for books about women and information technology? They're not always easy to find. Do you look under "women and computing"? "information technology"? "cyberspace"? "cyberculture"? "the Internet"? To aid your search, we've put together a list of books and special issues of journals, arranged by year of publication. In most cases, we've also included links to more information: the book's web site, one or more reviews, an interview with the author, a table of contents, etc. You may find some of these books in your local library. If the library doesn't have the one you're looking for, or you'd prefer to buy it, try your local feminist bookstore. The most recent entries or changes are marked new.

(Of related interest is the CRA-W's list of Computer Science Books by Women Computer Scientists.)
