Is it true that women use technology, but that men fall in love with it? What are the effects of electronic networks, of cyber-relationships on class, race and gender boundaries? Dale Spender reveals that men are writing the road rules for the superhighway and subjecting women to new forms of harassment, virtual violence and data rape. But she also conveys her sheer delight in these new technologies arguing that it is creating unimaginable opportunities in education and authoring.

Dale Spender is a whole-hearted convert to computing and cyberspace, but she has her concerns. How much will the Internet live up to its potential for improving the world and how much will it reinforce the gender power imbalances of the past and present? Her book is therefore about people more than computers. Her special focus is women, and what needs to be understood and done to build a more reasonable and equitable community in cyberspace--and the rest of the world.
Dale Spender is a researcher, broadcaster and teacher, as well as the author and editor of over 30 books, including Man Made Language and Women of Ideas.
