A nice little overview of feminist Science & Technology Studies. The first essay, "Using Lenses of Feminist Theories" is a handy overview of theoretical approaches, and a useful reference for academics looking for a toolset to apply to a socio-technical problem.
Most of the rest of the entries are pretty good, nothing earth-shattering, but worth reading. The final one, "High-Tech Worship," introduces a fascinating field of study, the construction of technologies for preaching in evangelical use, but the article's written at an honors-undergrad or first year grad student level of analysis.
More even in quality than many STS anthologies, this was a pretty good and quick read, and worth keeping on the shelf.
