From Curlers to Chainsaws: Women and Their Machines is a groundbreaking collection of lyrical and illuminating essays about the serious, silly, seductive, and sometimes sorrowful relationships between women and their machines. In this book, twenty-three distinguished writers document the tools that women use, gadgets that are functional and yet serve as extensions of women's identities.
