摘要

The women's movement of the 1970's and '80's, or, as it is often referred to, second wave feminism~2, was first and foremost a political movement. It aimed at changing the conditions of women, recognizing full well that to do so meant changing the world. Out of the overtly political project soon emerged an intellectual - and even academic -project: feminist theory. Feminist theory was generally understood, at least by its early contributors, as itself a form of politics - i.e. as "politics by other means." It aimed to facilitate change in the world of every-day life by analysing - and exposing - the role that ideologies of gender play (and have played) in the abstract schema underlying our modes of organization. This meant re-examining our basic assumptions in all the traditional fields of scholarship -history, literature, political science, anthropology, sociology, etc. Being a scientist, I chose to extend the kinds of analysis feminists were employing in the humanities and social sciences to the natural sciences. In particular, I sought to understand the genesis of the sexual and emotional division of labour, so conspicuously prevalent in my own generation, that labelled mind, reason, and objectivity as 'male', and heart (and body), feeling, and subjectivity as 'female', and hence, that underlay the historic exclusion of women from the scientific endeavour., My hope was that to identify such traces of masculinist ideology in the natural sciences would lead to their purging, for surely, here of all places, they ought riot be tolerated. It was a heady time, and like so many of my colleagues in feminist theory, my aim was ambitious to the point of grandiosity: perhaps less ambitious than seeking to change the world, I sought merely to change science. Let me explain: my aim was not to make science either more subjective or more 'feminine', but rather, to make it more truly objective, and, necessarily, 'gender-free.' I sought, in a word, a better science. A better science, I argued, would inevitably be a more inclusive science, more accessible to women. In rapid order, this project (which I labelled "gender and science") was joined by many others - some with similar and others with different aims. But we all shared the bottom line commitment to making this undeniably human achievement more inclusive and more humane. Now, a quarter of a century later, it seems appropriate to ask: What in fact did we accomplish? Did we change the conditions of women? Did we change the world? Did we change science?
