Despite substantial research during the last two decades in the area of gender and science, no anthology or textbook has introduced students in a comprehensive or systematic way to the subject until now. Integrating contributions from historians and philosophers of science as well as scientists from a wide range of fields, "The Gender of Science" explores the claim that modern Western science is masculine, and that its masculinity helps to perpetuate a society biased in favor of men. It also explores some of the ways women scientists are currently changing science, and some of the ways science's empiricist house philosophy must be revised to accommodate these changes.
