dc.description.abstractThe effects of knowledge acquisition from Internet technology were examined on the following dimensions of rural women’s empowerment: decision-making within the household, self-confidence, increased social value and respect, more meaningful work (intra-household and within the community), self-perceived empowerment, and the effects of knowledge on career. Participants consisted of twenty-five semi-rural women from Kolkata, India, who received Internet training, as well as their husbands and children. Most women reported using search engines and visiting websites to search for financial information as well as information on child healthcare.en
