Avoiding jargon and using well-chosen illustrations, Technology and Women's Voices assesses technological changes in terms of their impact on women's social lives. The contributors investigate women's talk as part of the technological environment in which it occurs, and argue that technology has made a lasting impact on women's communications. The articles trace the operations of several specific innovations - including electricity, the telephone, washing machine, car, sewing machine and computer.
