Feminism and Science

Race, Gender, and Science

by Nancy Tuana (Editor)

Questioning the objectivity of scientific inquiry, this volume addresses the scope of gender bias in science. The contributors examine the ways in which science is affected by and reinforces sexist biases. The essays reveal science to be a cultural institution, structured by the political, social, and economic values of the culture within which it is practiced.

[Julian Weitzenfeld]

Generally sensible academic views from a period when some strange claims were being made. Nthing revolutionary in here.
