Feminist Epistemologies brings together original essays exploring the intersections of gender and knowledge. The contributors probe the difference gender makes by reframing old questions and looking through a feminist lens at such new questions as: Who is the subject of knowledge? How does the social position of the knower affect the production of knowledge? And what is the connection between knowledge and politics? Until now, the term "feminist epistemology" has typically been used to denote women's ways of knowing, women's experiences, and the critique of specific theories about women. This book inaugurates a field of study at the intersection of feminist philosophy and epistemology "proper."
