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
