Synopsis
The study of technology and woman's paid work began when Alexander Hamilton summoned women out of their homes and into the cotton mills to do "more important" work, so that men could work in the fields. Since that time the thrust of technology from the steam engine to automation and the electronic computer has altered the lives of all workers, and for American women it has uprooted the past and redirected life. women have found it a zigzag road in man's domain, beset with obstacles - social, economic, physical, psychological. For they have had to contend not only with the difficulties of adjusting to new work, but also the problems of establishing their right to have it - a question not settled even today.
