Het zal weinig opzien baren wanneer technologie als 'mannelijk' wordt gekwalificeerd, maar de stelling dat deze uitspraak historisch bepaald en pas sinds kort 'waar' is, zal meer stof doen opwaaien. Making Technology Masculine brengt in kaart op welke wijze mannen beslag legden op de technologie als hun exclusieve domein en onderzoekt hoe vrouwen dit mannelijke overwicht op alternatieve wijze probeerden te ondermijnen. Het strijdtoneel waaarop de vrouwelijke ingenieurs, uitvinders, sociale wetenschappers, activistes en schrijfsters zich verzetten tegen technologie als de moderne mannelijke mythe, strekt zich uit van de werkvloer tot de wereldtentoonstellingen. Oldenziel vertelt de geschiedenis van de technologie - als intellectuele constructie en als practische toepassing - aan de hand van deze strubbelingen. Ze legt uit waarom mannelijke machines de moderne ijkpunten van de technologie zijn geworden en daarbij baseert ze zich op een groot aantal bronnen. De schrijfster laat zien hoe de technologie zich heeft ontwikkeld tot de narratieve reproductie van moderne mannelijkheid, en zo weinig ruimte overlaat voor vrouwelijke inmenging
