Abstract	This volume contains 12 papers commissioned by the Panel on Technology and Women's Employment. "Technology, Women, and Work: Policy Perspectives" (Eli Ginzberg) is an overview that provides a context for the volume. The four case studies in Part II describe the impact of information technology in the insurance industry, among bookkeepers, among secretaries, and in computer-related occupations. They are "The Technological Transformation of White-Collar Work: A Case Study of the Insurance Industry" (Barbara Baran); "'Machines Instead of Clerks': Technology and the Feminization of Bookkeeping, 1910-1950" (Sharon Strom); "New Technology and Office Tradition: The Not-So-Changing World of the Secretary" (Mary Murphree); and "Integrated Circuits/Segregated Labor: Women in Computer-Related Occupations and High-Tech Industries" (Myra Strober, Carolyn Arnold). The three papers in Part III connect technological change with trends in women's employment: "Women's Employment and Technological Change: A Historical Perspective" (Claudia Goldin); "Recent Trends in Clerical Employment: The Impact of Technological Change" (H. Allan Hunt, Timothy Hunt); and "Restructuring Work: Temporary, Part-Time, and At-Home Employment" (Eileen Appelbaum). The four papers in Part IV provide policy perspectives on important subjects: "Employer Policies To Enhance the Application of Office System Technology to Clerical Work" (Alan Westin); "New Office and Business Technologies: The Structure of Education and (Re)Training Opportunities" (Bryna Fraser); "The New Technology and the New Economy: Some Implications for Equal Employment Opportunity" (Thierry Noyelle); and "Managing Technological Change: Responses of Government, Employers, and Trade Unions in Western Europe and Canada" (Felicity Henwood, Sally Wyatt). The volume concludes with biographical sketches of all contributors. (YLB)
