Gender Patterns, Equality Paradoxes, and Lessons for an Inclusive Digital Future. 330 $aThis open access book explores what makes women decide to pursue a career in male-dominated fields such as information technology (IT). It reveals how women experience gendered stereotypes but also how they bypass, negotiate, and challenge such stereotypes, reconstructing gender-technology relations in the process. Using the example of Norway to illuminate this challenge in Western countries, the book includes a discussion of the ?gender equality paradox?, where gender equality exists in parallel with gender segregation in fields such as IT. The discussion illustrates how the norm of gender equality in some cases hinders rather than promotes efforts to increase women?s participation in technology-related roles. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aSex 606 $aIndustrial sociology 606 $aTechnology$xSociological aspects 606 $aInformation technology 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aSociology of Work 606 $aInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) 606 $aScience, Technology and Society 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aIndustrial sociology. 615 0$aTechnology$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aInformation technology. 615 14$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Work. 615 24$aInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT). 615 24$aScience, Technology and Society. 676 $a004.082 686 $aSOC026000$aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aCorneliussen$b Hilde G$01179259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745584603321 996 $aReconstructions of gender and information technology$93573019 997 $aUNINA
