Male Dominance and Technological Change
Cynthia's classic study of the remaking of man through the impact of technological change.
Cynthia Cockburn's classic work began as a study on the human impact of technological change, but ended as an exploratiion in the making and remaking of men, showing how work and technology are used by men in maintaining their control over women. It continues to offer an unparalled insight into men and trade unionism from a feminist point of view.

'Cockburn has managed that most difficult of tasks: to produce a book on an important social issue which is theoretically interesteing, factually informative and well written'
