Description
"Doing It the Hard Way" brings together the writings of the late Sally Hacker. More than simply a collection of essays, this volume includes a series of interviews conducted by sociologist-feminist Dorothy Smith during the last year of Sally Hacker's life. The book is thus a tribute to Sally Hacker's distinctive approach to issues of gender and technology; her integration of research with feminist activism; and her innovative methods of research.
