What useful changes has feminism brought to science? Feminists have
enjoyed success in their efforts to open many fields to women as
participants. But the effects of feminism have not been restricted
to altering employment and professional opportunities for women.
The essays in this volume explore how feminist theory has had a
direct impact on research in the biological and social sciences, in
medicine, and in technology, often providing the impetus for
fundamentally changing the theoretical underpinnings and practices
of such research. In archaeology, evidence of women's hunting
activities suggested by spears found in women's graves is no longer
dismissed; computer scientists have used feminist epistemologies
for rethinking the human-interface problems of our growing reliance
on computers. Attention to women's movements often tends to
reinforce a presumption that feminism changes institutions through
critique-from-without. This volume reveals the potent but not
always visible transformations feminism has brought to science,
technology, and medicine from within. Contributors: Ruth Schwartz
