Trade Review
"Provocative and often persuasive, this examination of trends in feminine critiques of science presents a useful, comprehensive account of a subject claiming increasing attention among philosophers, historians of science, and feminine theorists."—E.C. Patterson, Albertus Magnus College, Choice, 1986
"Offers a plentiful feast of sticky problems, embarrassing questions, and nagging doubts about current practices in both history and philosophy of science that will not go away by themselves."—Elisabeth A. Lloyd, Isis, Vol. 79, 1988
"This is the book many scholars in feminist theory and the philosophical and historical studies of science have been waiting for. It is ambitious, sophisticated, and subtle: the best book yet written in feminist approaches to philosophy and the theories of knowledge."—Donna J. Harraway, Department of the History of Consciousness, University of California, Santa Cruz
