Exploring the gender-technology relation in nursing

Feminist and nursing scholars have emphasized the critical role Western technology has played in the history and development of women and nursing. Yet, despite their common ground in tying both the emancipation and the subordination of women and nurses to technology, there has been virtually no association between nursing and gender-technology studies. Gender-technology studies offer nursing scholars new analytic directions and methodological tools to explore the nursing-technology relation. Nursing, in turn, offers gender-technology studies a rich empirical site to further its theoretical development.
