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