Produktbeschreibung

"Sandra Harding fills significant gaps in three crucial, overlapping, yet strangely independent scholarly literatures on science and technology: feminist analyses of science, "traditional" science and technology studies, and postcolonial science studies. This is a unifying and strengthening project of great significance both practically (for the future of science throughout the world) and within academe."--Anne Fausto-Sterling, author of "Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality"
