Colwell, the first female director of the National Science Foundation, discusses the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have taken to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system. When she first applied for a graduate fellowship in bacteriology, she was told, "We don't waste fellowships on women." Over her six decades in science, as she encounters other women pushing back against the status quo, Colwell also witnessed the advances that could be made when men and women worked together. Here she offers an astute diagnosis of how to fix the problem of sexism in science-- and a celebration of the women pushing back.-- adapted from jacket A memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have taken to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system

Questioning the objectivity of scientific inquiry, this volume addresses the scope of gender bias in science. The contributors examine the ways in which science is affected by and reinforces sexist biases. The essays reveal science to be a cultural institution, structured by the political, social, and economic values of the culture within which it is practiced.

'Women are in pain, all through their bodies; they're in pain with their periods, and while having sex; they have pelvic pain, migraine, headaches, joint aches, painful bladders, irritable bowels, sore lower backs, muscle pain, vulval pain, vaginal pain, jaw pain, muscle aches. And many are so, so tired ... But women's pain is all too often dismissed, their illnesses misdiagnosed or ignored. In medicine, man is the default human being. Any deviation is atypical, abnormal, deficient.' Fourteen years after being diagnosed with endometriosis, Gabrielle Jackson couldn't believe how little had changed in the treatment and knowledge of the disease. In 2015, her personal story kick-started a worldwide investigation into the disease by The Guardian; thousands of women got in touch to tell their own stories and many more read and shared the material. What began as one issue led Jackson to explore how women - historically and through to the present day - are under-served by the systems that should keep them happy, healthy and informed about their bodies. Pain and Prejudice is a vital testament to how social taboos and medical ignorance keep women sick and in anguish. The stark reality is that women's pain is not taken as seriously as men's. Women are more likely to be disbelieved and denied treatment than men, even though women are far more likely to be suffering from chronic pain. In a potent blend of personal memoir and polemic, Jackson confronts the private concerns and questions women face regarding their health and medical treatment. Pain & Prejudice, finally, explains how we got here, and where we need to go next.

Dit is het eerste uitvoerige en kritische overzicht van vijftien jaar feministische wetenschapskritiek. De filosofe Sandra Harding onderzoekt drie epistemologische benaderingen binnen het feministische debat: het feministisch empirisme, dat alleen slechte wetenschap bekritiseert; de feministische kritiek die de maatschappelijke ervaringen van vrouwen beschouwt als een uniek uitgangspunt om in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek mannelijke vooroordelen te ontdekken; en het feministisch postmodernisme, dat de meest fundamentele wetenschappelijke veronderstellingen in vraag stelt. Harding duidt de spanningen en tegenstellingen aan binnen deze kritiek, wijst op de ontoereikendheid van bepaalde concepten waarop feministische wetenschappers zich baseren, en op onvermoede hindernissen of lacunes in hun onderzoek. Toch houdt Harding vol dat het kritische debat dat feministen op gang brachten noodzakelijk is voor het hedendaagse wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Ze verdedigt de stelling dat wetenschap nooit waardevrij is en pleit voor meer adequate opvatting over wetenschappelijke objectiviteit: een opvatting die gebaseerd is op emancipatorische waarden als antiracisme, anti-seksisme en de strijd tegen de klassemaatschappij.

Y a-t-il un problème entre les femmes et les sciences, voire entre les femmes et le fait de savoir en général? Non, bien sûr que non. Et pourtant, la rumeur continue à circuler en boucles paresseuses, la misogynie des doctes n’a pas désarmé, l’égalité est loin d’être là et des énoncés assurant que les vraies femmes sont illettrées continuent d’être publiés. Michèle Le Dœuff entraîne lectrices et lecteurs dans des fouilles archéologiques visant à retrouver l’origine enfouie de réflexes toujours contemporains, dont l’ampleur reste à mesurer : existe-t-il un lien entre la méconnaissance des rapports sociaux entre les sexes, les mécanismes subtils ou grossiers mis en œuvre par les institutions intellectuelles pour maintenir en leur sein autant de domination masculine qu’elles peuvent et le mode de constitution des savoirs que l’école diffuse ou ne diffuse pas ? Un parcours savant et caustique en compagnie de Platon, Christine de Pisan, Thomas More, Gabrielle Suchon, Bacon, John Stuart Mill, Harriet Taylor… Ou comment, sortant des sentiers battus, il paraît nécessaire de réinventer certaines questions : pourquoi la culture est-elle supposée diminuer le sex appeal ? Pourquoi y a-t-il des choses que bien des hommes ne veulent pas comprendre ? Et comment l’intuition est-elle venue aux femmes ? Dans cette nouvelle édition du Sexe du savoir, une postface de Léa Védie resitue l’œuvre de Michèle Le Dœuff dans le débat transatlantique concernant les femmes, la philosophie et les sciences.
