Beschreibung:Includes bibliographical references and index
Traces how the first telephone operators co-opted the new technology from the small circle of businessmen it was designed for, by demonstrating its potential market for domestic and personal communication, thus convincing the phone company to change its strategy. Focusing on the Canadian system 1878-1920, Martin (communications, U. of Quebec) shows how women shaped the cultural impact of the telephone. Annotation c.
