Publisher's Synopsis
Recent feminist research has set out to show the extent to which women and their contributions have been neglected or misrepresented in many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Possibly the most significant aspect of this book is its attempt to explore what kinds of changes are required in the assumptions, results and even the methods of these disciplines when women's perspectives and values are given full credit. Active scholars in the movement survey the impact of this work in their respective fields.
