In this cutting-edge anthology, contributors examine the diverse ways in which
girls and young women across a variety of ethnic, socio-economic, and national
backgrounds are incorporating and making sense of digital technology in their
everyday lives. Contributors explore identity development, how young women
interact with technology, and how race, class, and identity influence game play.
