Abstract

This article explores the concept of "digital divide" as it pertains to women's work in and with IT in Canada. While "digital divide" has some usefulness as an analytical concept for feminist scholars, the complex nature of IT-based work requires a broader and deeper understanding. Résumé Cet article explore le concept de la "division digitale" en ce qui a trait au travail des femmes dans et avec la technologie informatique au Canada. Quoique la "division digitale" ait quelqu’utilité en tant que concept analytique pour les érudites féministes, la nature complexe du travail basé sur la technologie informatique demande une com prehension plus élargie et plus approfondie.
