This captivating book delves into the remarkable achievements of women in mastering technologies traditionally associated with men, offering valuable insights into institutional efforts to promote technical proficiency among girls and women. Structured across five original case studies, the work showcases the diverse experiences of breast cancer survivors, Egyptian women utilizing information and communication technologies for political activism, pioneering female audio engineers, U.S. female commercial airline pilots, and a university-educated woman in sewer maintenance and repair. Through the voices of these women, the case studies capture the essence of their journeys and present a rich tapestry of historical and geographic contexts.
A significant contribution of this volume lies in its multidisciplinary analytical framework, which explores the motivations behind women's engagement with non-traditional technologies, the role of peer and political support in fostering persistence, and the acquisition of informal and formal knowledge and skills. At its core, this book is a testament to women's empowerment, both individually and collectively.
Suitable for undergraduates and graduates in the fields of Women's and Gender Studies, Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Studies, Engineering Education, and Adult Education, this unique book provides a profound exploration of the untapped potential and resilience of women in the realm of technology.
