Balanced and brave, realistic yet hopeful, and data-based while human-centered, this book epitomizes excellence., This is a rich, challenging and rewarding read for anyone interested in better understanding the role of ICT in women's empowerment. This book offers reasons to be optimistic about the transformative potential of ICT without losing sight of the power structures in which they are embedded., This book, written by researchers from African and Arab countries, reveals new challenges regarding the decolonization of these regions and the liberation of both women and men., This remarkable book offers a diversity of rich case studies of women using ICT for empowerment in Africa and the Middle East within contexts which are normally male-dominated in their norms and values. The book is a valuable antidote to both technological utopianism and dystopianism, and should be required reading for those interested in ICT and development, both women and men., How do women use information and computer technologies to empower themselves and contribute to social development? In this welcome addition to the growing literature in the field of women, development and ICT, a range of case studies elucidate both the emancipatory nature of ICT and the formidable structural and cultural obstacles that remain., A valuable book offering innovative new ways of approaching the impact of ICT on gender relations in the Middle East and Africa. Weaving together issues of women's empowerment and freedom, as well as the fight against violence, the book opens up new avenues of personal and social transformation and uncovers challenging new female voices., "This remarkable book offers a diversity of rich case studies of women using ICT for empowerment in Africa and the Middle East within contexts which are normally male-dominated in their norms and values.

The transformations are there, but so too are the trials at the intersection of ICT, gender and society. The individual chapters by researchers from both Africa and the Middle East are fascinating for their insights and for the complexities that they reveal." -- Nancy Hafkin "This book, written by researchers from African and Arab countries, reveals new challenges regarding the decolonization of these regions and the liberation of both women and men." -- Nawal El Saadawi "A valuable book offering innovative new ways of approaching the impact of ICT on gender relations in the Middle East and Africa.
