This anthology contains essays written by thirteen leading scholars who analyze the ways the introduction of information technology affects the nature of paid work for women in the third world. Highlighting the difference in the interests and needs of different groups of women, this anthology challenges the validity of any monolithic, spcifically feminine vision of technology and science. Contributors affirm the view that instead of demanding an essentialist, ahistorical, universal, women-friendly technology, it will be more rewarding to study, in the context of the current technological revolution, the needs and experiences of groups of women in different societies. The anthology also features a powerful critique of postmodernism and ecofeminism by demonstrating that women in third world countries welcome modernization, so long as they can have some say in the manner in which the technology affects the quality of their working and family lives.
