Summary
The material for this chapter is interviews the authors conducted with women who pioneered research on women’s work and technology as well as with researchers who are earlier in their career and continue this tradition with their own ideas about gender and design. Analysis of these interviews shows that the ways that people come to focus on gender are varied: they come from different disciplinary backgrounds, have developed their approach in different contexts seizing different research opportunities, and forged their own pathways in making a career in women/gender studies and technology development. This chapter takes up these personal biographies, highlighting the different starting points, research interests, and struggles.
