This timely and engaging book argues that technoscientific advances are radically transforming the woman-machine relationship. However, it is feminist politics rather than the technologies themselves that make the difference. Techno Feminism fuses the visionary insights of cyberfeminism with a materialist analysis of the sexual politics of technology.
