The article "Technology and Women's Empowerment" explores how technology, particularly information and communication technologies (ICTs), can empower women by improving their skills, knowledge, job opportunities, and access to markets and essential services. While technology has the potential to empower women, there are still barriers such as limited access to technology, unaffordable internet services, and gender disparities in underdeveloped nations. The book emphasizes the importance of governments and nonprofit groups in addressing these disparities and ensuring women are not left behind in the digital economy. It also highlights the intersection of technology with other aspects of identity, such as race and class, and advocates for more intentional outreach and training programs for marginalized communities to close the digital gender divide.
