Computer Equity for Young Women in Rural Schools.
Mathews, Walter M.; Winkle, Linda Wyrick
Research in Rural Education, v1 n1 p37-41 Fall 1982
Describes four external and internal barriers regarding computer literacy that are limiting rural women: institutionalized sexism, females' negative self-concepts concerning computer technology, lack of knowledge about the technology, and rural women's sex-stereotyped attitudes about computer-related careers. Outlines actions rural schools can take to eliminate these factors. (NEC)
