This volume maps the role of mobile communication in the daily lives of women around the globe, shedding light on "under-the-radar" use of mobile communication to display a nuanced understanding of social impacts that may affect the gender construction processes of women at the individual, institutional, and societal levels.

A global team of authors focus on the use of mobile communication by women in the lower rungs of their respective societies, as well as those who migrate with marginalized statuses within and across the national borders, to demonstrate how "under-the-radar" use of mobile communication is deeply inscribed within diversified social, cultural, historical, and political milieus. Illuminating the social structural constraints faced by women under their dynamic negotiation of agentic mobile phone use for self-empowerment, the chapters cover women's economic activities, health care, well-being, migration, gendered identity, and the practices of different gender roles.

This comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to scholars and students of media and communication, new and digital media, mobile communication, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, and cultural studies.

Xin Pei is Lecturer in Media and Communications at the School of Culture and Communication, The University of Melbourne. Her research focus lies in examining the social consequences of adopting information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the context of marginalization.

Pranav Malhotra is Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on how the affordances of social and mobile media intersect with relational and cultural norms to influence how people engage with information and each other in mediated spaces.

Rich Ling recently retired from the Shaw Foundation Professorship of Media Technology, at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. For more than three decades, he has studied the social consequences of mobile communication.
