The Gender and Science Reader Paperback - 2000
by Ingrid Bartsch (Editor); Muriel Lederman (Editor)
From the rear cover
The Gender and Science Reader brings together key writings by leading scholars to provide a comprehensive feminist analysis of the nature and practice of science. Challenging the self-proclaimed objectivity of scientific practice, the contributors uncover the gender, class and racial prejudices of modern science. The Reader draws from a range of media, including feminist criticism, scientific literature, writings about scientific education, and the popular press. Articles are grouped into six thematic sections which address:
-- Women in Science -- women's access to study and employment in science, combining both analytical evidence and personal testimonies-- Creating Androcentric Science -- exploring the gendered origins of science at the time of the Enlightenment
-- Analyzing Gendered Science -- feminist methodologies and epistemology for the study of science-- Gendered Praxis -- examples of how gender bias can affect and distort scientific work
-- Science and Identity -- how science reinforces gender and racial stereotypes-- Feminist Restructuring of Science -- what is the future of feminist science studies?
In addition to a general introduction by the editors to the volume, and introductions to each of the thematic sections, the Reader also includes a comprehensive bibliography of feminist science studies, making it an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the teaching, research or study of science.
