Office Automation: The Case of Gender and Power

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

On the contrary, the hierarchy in the work between men and women, as well as the way in which the work is organized, should be a major issue in any attempt at technology assessment. Technology reflects both the capitalist and sexual power structure.
