For courses in Gender, Inequality, and Social Change in the departments of Sociology and Women's Studies.

This sociological analysis explores reproductive, household, and office technology in order to challenge popular ideas of technology as progressive for women. It shows that gender, race, and class influence the degree of technological benefit, and that the association of technology with progress often hides its problems.
