The purpose of this paper is to offer a feminography, that is a “narration of a female self in a
feminist age” (Abrams, 2017) by presenting a conceptual analysis, derived from experience, of email
providing a form of discourse – that the author calls finger-speak – through which unexamined gender
positioning caricatures a person’s identity. In so doing, the paper provides an illustrative case of a female
manager being positioned through email to “know her place, perform it and feel it” (Hey, 2011).
