    "description": "<b>Feminist writers and scholars consider whether technology has made good on its promise to liberate women&#8212;sexually, biologically, economically, and politically.</b><p>In&#160;<i>Once and Future Feminist</i>, editor and lead essayist Merve Emre turns a critical eye on the role of technology in feminism both past and present. With her starting point the &#8220;fertility benefits&#8221; offered by Silicon Valley tech companies, Emre posits that such reproductive technologies as egg freezing and in vitro fertilization aren't inherently emancipatory; they often make women even more vulnerable to exploitation in the workplace. Almost fifty years ago, radical feminist Shulamith Firestone viewed&#160;developments in reproductive technology&#160;with skepticism, arguing&#160;in&#160;<i>The Dialectic of Se</i>x&#160;that they are only \"incidentally in the interests of women when at all.&#8221;&#160;</p><p>Engaging other feminist writers and scholars, this collection broadens out to examine whether technology in general has made good on its promise to liberate women&#8212;sexually, biologically, economically, and politically. In this context,&#160;<i>Once and Future Feminist&#160;</i>considers not only whether or not a radical, emancipatory feminism is possible today but what such a feminism might look like.</p><p><b>Contributors<br></b>Irina Aristarkhova, Michael Bronski, James Chappell, Mary Darnovsky, Silvia Federici, Chris Kaposy, Sophie Lewis, Andrea Long Chu, Annie Menzel, Cathy O'Neil, Sarah Sharma, Diane Tober, Miriam Zoll</p>",
