A question of silence: Feminist theory and women's voices
Philosophy 76 (3):371-395 (2001)
| Abstract | This paper examines some recent trends in feminist epistemology. It argues that theories that make a priori claims to the effect that the structure of our body of knowledge must encode a masculine bias are both philosophically problematic and politically counterproductive, and it recommends a feminist methodology free from such general theoretical claims as best suited for the promotion of productive feminist thought and action | |||||||||
