description: As new information and biological technologies dramatically transform everyday life, they pose urgent questions for women. What are the impacts of these technologies on the body, the workplace, and the home? To what extent are women using, resisting, and shaping these technologies? In this landmark issue, teachers, scholars, web-designers, librarians, and poets examine these and other questions. By looking at access and training issues, confidentiality questions, and cyberspace, they examine the value of the Internet and consider ways to develop curricula for a more female-friendly technology. This special issue is an invaluable resource for prompting thoughtful analysis of how and when new technologies should be integrated into women's lives. Lee Quinby is the author of Millenial A Skeptic Confronts Apocalyptic Culture and teaches at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
