Opis

The question of difference has always been a controversial issue for feminists. This is certainly true in the case of epistemological questions. What difference does the adoption of a feminist perspective make in relation to traditional knowledge? How are feminist perspectives themselves affected by the difference between women? Both questions require a re-evaluation of issues of objectivity and the justification of knowledge claims in a way that focuses on the subjects who constitute the knowledge producers.

'Picking one's way through the literature can be confusing and dispiriting ... for this reason alone, this collection of papers would be welcome. That they are also generally of a high standard and accessible is a bonus.' - Womens Philosophy Review
