This popped up on my FB today.
I must admit, technology doesn't strike me as the heart of the problem, and therefore I'm not sure it's going to be the solution... (any more, than, say, inventing a washing machine but still thinking all things laundry are "women's work").
But it's an interesting question. I've been fascinated to learn about apps designed to help manage mental load in various ways. Perhaps in a society where mental load often ends up being gendered in a household, that disproportionately helps women?
But where does that leave the women who are most disempowered; those for whom the basics of clean water and adequate nutrition are still massive needs? Innovation which tackles the worst outcomes of poverty benefits everyone, but the also disproportionately benefits women...
I have no answers! But maybe it's worth thinking about.
