Girl power in a digital world. Williams, B.

Williams, B. (2006) Girl power in a digital world: Considering the complexity of gender, literacy, and technology.  Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy 50 (4) 300-307

An Annotation

Williams completely ignores all the gender based brain research when, in this article, he blames “culture” for sweeping boys and girls into their identity roles and interests.  One example of this is his discussion about competition as he cites “How Schools Shortchange Girls.”  After reading brain research, this article sounds childish and inflammatory.
