Abstract
It is now time to weave the different threads together. This book started with the aim of showing how changes in the workplace and changes in gender relations are intertwined. Gender was seen as something that is done and performed but also as something that is performing people. To study performing gender, I developed a discourse analytic model for performing gender and applied it to ICT work. In this concluding chapter I summarise the approach and the key contributions of the book. I also take a look at how the area of gender, technology and work might develop in the future.
