内容説明
This work examines women's reactions to computers and what the prospects are for women working in computing. It is based on the author's experiences during 30 years of continuous employment in computing, much of it in a university environment. The book considers women as "end-users" using computers for clerical and administrative work, and examines the potential of computers for domestic work in the home. It looks at the work of women and men who design the basic software to make the machines run at all and the environment in which decisions are made; this scene is examined from the point of view of the female workforce. The book takes a strongly feminist standpoint but without using technical terms from sociology or feminist theory. No prior knowledge of computing is assumed and all computing terms are explained. The explanation of computing terms is not, however, patronizing to the expert. The framework of the book invites the reader to think about how things might develop in the future and what it might be like for women to play a full role in computing.
