Summary: When we put women at the centre of discussions of technological environment in which it occurs, and argue that technology has made a lasting impact on women's communication. The articles trace the operations of several specific innovations, and explore their effects on women's social interaction. The histories of these innovations are followed up with a broader discussion of how all technological innovations are followed up with a broader discussion of how all technological practices affect the ways, places, times, and content of talk and writing. The author considers technologies not as machines but as social relations: transportation and typewriters, for example, are seen as communication systems, encouraging some kinds of interactions and discouraging others. https://www.routledge.com/Technology-and-Womens-Voices-Keeping-in-Touch/Kramarae/p/book/9780710206794
