Reviews

Harding has for decades set the terms of liberatory science studies that have moved the dialogues forward in substantial ways, and she continues to do so in her latest book. --Signs [Harding] continues to be one of very few philosophers who has worked consistently and courageously to make science live up to both its epistemic and its emancipatory potential. --Philosophy in Review Science and Social Inequality, a collection of foundational and innovative work from a leading thinker in feminist science studies, is valuable in many ways: as a reference work, as an historical overview of crucial debates in feminist science studies, and as a powerful contribution to current efforts to push those debates forward into new and vital territories. --NWSA Journal
