Women in Technology is the second album by British recording artist White Town. It was released on 25 February 1997 and is the second full studio album by White Town. The album is most famous for the song "Your Woman" which was its only top 40 single. The song received much acclaim and reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart. A second single, released as a promo, was made of "Wanted" and failed to chart anywhere. The album's third single "Undressed" reached 57. The album was recorded entirely at Jyoti Mishra's home studio.

Background

In early 1997, Jyoti Mishra mailed out five copies of his 1996 >Abort, Retry, Fail? extended play to various radio stations. This caused the EPs lead track "Your Woman" to receive heavy rotation on stations, resulting in Mishra getting a deal with EMI.[3] Through Chrysalis Records, a label owned by EMI, Mishra released the second White Town full-length Women In Technology, which produced three singles: the widely successful "Your Woman", the promo-only "Wanted", and "Undressed".
