I was assigned this text to read for a Gender and Women's Studies course at school. It has a wide range of previously published articles about feminist science studies organized around several broad topics, synthesized in section introductions by the editors.

Great edited multidisciplinary volume on women in science and women studied by science. There's some variation in the professionalism of various authors' tone in their essays, but there's a lot of great fodder for all kinds of projects in feminist science studies here.

Lucy, I giggled when you sent this to me, but I've run out of books at site and started reading it. It's AMAZING. It's refreshing to read testimonials from women scientists who've experienced problems similar to mine, it makes me feel like like the "odd man out." I read it through, cover to cover.
