Abstract

What resources does the women's movement bring to the growth of scientific knowledge? Here I consider conflicting evaluations of such resources as women in science, feminist, politics, and feminist theories about science. Critics of “bad science” and critics of “science as usual” understand these resources in different ways. Should we try to ameliorate the tensions between these feminist approaches? Or, alternatively, should we regard only one of these conflicting positions as the intellectually and politically correct one? I argue that the tension between them is important to maintain as our feminisms attempt to remake the production of knowledge in conditions not of our own choosing.
