Review :
"An excellent choice of essays available for the first time in one volume.." -Choice, November 2001 "The editors nicely balance the different schools of feminist theory.." -Nature, Sylvie Coyaund, 12 April 2001 "It is a collection of essays and book extracts from the best English-language authors, from well-known feminist writers such as Donna Haraway, Evelyn Fox Kellar, Hilary Rose and Carolyn Merchant, to newer entrants such as biologists Christine Wenneras and Agnes Wold.." -Nature, Sylvie Coyaund, 12 April 2001 "One of the strength of the book is that it makes available some wellknown articles that have become rather difficult to obtain.." -American Scientist, , September-October 2001 "All the essays included were deemed to have significantly contributed to the development of feminist science: thus, they provide a solid framework for continuing the discussion. Well-written introductions to the book and each of its six sections provide clear signposts for readers, enabling the editors to practice what they preach-that is, to advocate for a more inclusive science by making the dialogue accessible to 'outsiders.'." -"Feminist Collections
