Argues that ethical, moral, and legal issues that shaped individual experience and culture in the late twentieth century emerge from the interface of gender and technology. Explains how cultural notions of gender affect what kind of technologies are produced and for what purpose, how the technology affects gender roles, and the significance of sex and gender in the use of technologies such as cosmetic surgery and reproductive procedures that manipulate the body.
