Gender/Body/Knowledge - Feminist Reconstructions Of Being And Knowing

by Kimberly Guinta, Susan Bordo
Gender/Body/Knowledge - Feminist Reconstructions Of Being And Knowing - Thryft
Gender/Body/Knowledge - Feminist Reconstructions Of Being And Knowing - Thryft

Gender-bias knowledge reconstructed in feminist perspective.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist epistemology and understanding how gender biases affect the production of knowledge. With contributions from leading feminist theorists, it offers a compelling case for the inclusion of marginalized perspectives in knowledge production. The most unique and distinctive feature of this book is its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on philosophy, sociology, and cultural studies to provide a comprehensive analysis of gender biases in knowledge production. Overall, readers would appreciate the breadth and depth of insights offered in this timely and thought-provoking book.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The essays in this interdisciplinary collection share the conviction that modern western paradigms of knowledge and reality are gender-biased. Some contributors challenge and revise western conceptions of the body as the domain of the biological and 'natural,' the enemy of reason, typically associated with women.
