The relationship between gender and domestic technology is a critical area of analysis within the field of Gender, Science, Technology and Society (GSTS). Domestic technologies, such as washing machines, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, and dishwashers, have been widely perceived as tools of liberation, easing the burden of domestic work, particularly for women. However, feminist scholarship complicates this narrative, arguing that such technologies often reinforce existing gender relations and traditional divisions of labor within the home, rather than transforming them. Historically, the domestic sphere has been constructed as a feminized space, and the association of women with unpaid reproductive labor such as cleaning, cooking, and caregiving has deep roots in patriarchal social structures. With the advent of domestic technologies in the 20th century, especially in industrialized societies, expectations arose that these technologies would reduce women's workload and offer them more freedom. Yet, as scholars like Ruth Schwartz Cowan argue in *More Work for Mother* (1983), the introduction of domestic technologies often resulted in a redefinition rather than a reduction of women’s work. Cowan points out that labor-saving devices changed the nature of housework but did not eliminate it.
