About the Book

Although women are the majority of small-scale technology users, their technical knowledge and understanding has largely been overlooked. This book investigates the contributions of women to technical innovation at a grassroots level, using 22 case studies of technical innovation by women in 16 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
