The Revolution was one of the most radical periodicals of the Western women's movement. Though it only lasted a few years, it drew considerable attention to the courage and eloquence of its editors and contributors. This volume presents a wide range of exerpts from the periodical, evoking the undiminished power of these women's voices.

Avoiding jargon and using illustrations, this text assesses technological changes in terms of their impact on women's social lives. The contributors investigate women's talk as part of the technological environment in which it occurs, and argue that technology has made a lasting impact on women's communications. The articles trace the operations of several specific innovations - including electricity, the telephone, washing machine, car, sewing machine and computer.
