- Description
- A collection of women's autobiographical accounts of everyday relationships with technology. The contributors describe encounters with technologies ranging from CD-roms and web pages to science laboratories, ante-natal screening, nuclear power and appliances in the home. They offer insight into lived experience where gender intersects with class, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, generation and subcultural identity in shaping technological encounters.
