The author argues that the experience of women inventors provides a "contextual fabric" that "exemplified cultural barriers and patterns of gendered identity in relationship to technological creativity," and that by "avoiding the cultural construct of male activity and female passivity, we begin to see that the ideological construct of masculine and feminine identity did not, in reality, negate one from the other in terms of technological creativity" (p. xii).
