Women account for over half of the global population, however, continue to be subject to systematic and systemic disadvantage, particularly in terms of access to health and education. At every intersection, where systemic inequality accounts for greater loss of life or limitations on full and healthy living, women are more greatly impacted by those inequalities. The design of technologies is no different, the very definition of technology is historically cast in terms of male activities, and advancements in the field are critical to improve women's quality of life. This article views HCI, a relatively new field, as well positioned to act critically in the ways that technology serve, refigure, and redefine women's bodies. Indeed, the female body remains a contested topic, a restriction to the development of women's health. On one hand, the field of women's health has attended to the medicalization of the body and therefore is to be understood through medical language and knowledge. On the other hand, the framing of issues associated with women's health and people's experiences of and within such system(s) remain problematic for many. This is visible today in, e.g., socio-cultural practices in disparate geographies or medical devices within a clinic or the home. Moreover, the biological body is part of a great unmentionable, i.e., the perils of essentialism. We contend that it is necessary, pragmatically and ethically, for HCI to turn its attention toward a woman-centered design approach. While previous research has argued for the dangers of gender-demarcated design work, we advance that designing for and with women should not be regarded as ghettoizing, but instead as critical to improving women's experiences in bodily transactions, choices, rights, and access to and in health and care. In this article, we consider how and why designing with and for woman matters. We use our design-led research as a way to speak to and illustrate alternatives to designing for and with women within HCI.

通过人性、激进主义和包容性进行以女性为中心的设计

然而，占全球人口一半以上的妇女仍然处于系统性和系统性的劣势，特别是在获得健康和教育方面。在每个交叉路口，系统性不平等会导致更大的生命损失或对充分和健康生活的限制，女性受到这些不平等的影响更大。技术的设计也不例外，历史上技术的定义是根据男性活动来定义的，该领域的进步对于提高女性的生活质量至关重要。本文认为 HCI 是一个相对较新的领域，它在技术服务、重塑和重新定义女性身体的方式方面处于有利地位。事实上，女性身体仍然是一个有争议的话题，是对女性健康发展的限制。一方面，妇女健康领域关注的是身体的医学化，因此需要通过医学语言和知识来理解。另一方面，与妇女健康相关的问题以及人们在此类系统中和系统内的经历对许多人来说仍然存在问题。今天，这在例如不同地区的社会文化实践或诊所或家中的医疗设备中是可见的。此外，生物体是一个不可名状的伟大事物的一部分，即本质主义的危险。我们认为，HCI 有必要在务实和道德上将注意力转向 对许多人来说，与妇女健康和人们在此类系统中的经历有关的问题的框架仍然存在问题。今天，这在例如不同地区的社会文化实践或诊所或家中的医疗设备中是可见的。此外，生物体是一个不可名状的伟大事物的一部分，即本质主义的危险。我们认为，HCI 有必要在务实和道德上将注意力转向 对许多人来说，与妇女健康和人们在此类系统中的经历有关的问题的框架仍然存在问题。今天，这在例如不同地区的社会文化实践或诊所或家中的医疗设备中是可见的。此外，生物体是一个不可名状的伟大事物的一部分，即本质主义的危险。我们认为，HCI 有必要在务实和道德上将注意力转向以女性为中心的设计方法。虽然之前的研究已经论证了按性别划分设计工作的危险性，但我们认为，为女性设计和与女性一起设计不应被视为隔离区，而是对于改善女性在身体交易、选择、权利以及获得和获得的体验至关重要。在健康和护理方面。在本文中，我们考虑了如何以及为什么与女性一起设计以及为女性而设计很重要。我们使用以设计为主导的研究作为一种方式来与 HCI 中的女性交流和说明设计的替代方案。
