This book provides a unique introduction to the study of
relationships between gender and biology, a core part of the
feminist science research tradition which emerged nearly half a
century ago. Lynn Hankinson Nelson presents an accessible and
balanced discussion of research questions, background assumptions,
methods, and hypotheses about biology and gender with which
feminist scientists and science scholars critically and
constructively engage. Writing from the perspective of contemporary
philosophy of science, she examines the evidence for and ethical
implications of biological hypotheses about gender, and discusses
relevant philosophical issues including understandings of
scientific objectivity, the nature of scientific reasoning, and
relationships between biological research and the scientific and
social contexts in which it is pursued. Clear and comprehensive,
this volume addresses the engagements of feminist scientists and
science scholars with a range of disciplines, including
developmental and evolutionary biology, medicine, neurobiology, and
primatology.
