Images of men and women computing
photos of men computing tend to be them engaged. very few where they are posing for the camera.
joanne verplank has appeared in two issues in a row in photos (wearing same outfit), getting in car and sitting with a machine perhaps. need to dbl check.
how is it that all those women letters appeared at once? did they save them up or something?
----------------------
what I need are tools of analysis
look at "making technology masculine"
closed world
examine metaphors of technological thinking (reread!) and what kinds of metaphors are visible in PCC newsletters for computers, computer users
for how people use the computer together in drawn images
Historical/Political context of PCC
Images in PCC
Roles in the PCC
Why did publications like People's Computing, Recreational Computing go away?
Increasing feminization of fields, then economic downturn as eric said and those roles got eliminated?
I thought it was really interesting that Liza Loop viewed programming as the feminized occupation and thus imagined that more women are participating in that realm.
