"This outstanding volume amasses a wealth of diverse voices and topics within feminist philosophy of science. It will serve as a rich resource for both those curious about how feminism intersects with philosophy of science and those familiar with the field who want to explore its most recent developments and the many fresh topics that have found a home within the field. Readers will find within its pages a cornucopia of insightful reflections on the variety of ways in which feminists have contributed to philosophy of science and harnessed it to take up specific issues of feminist concern."
