Ruby,
let me echo John's (I think) request for more information. All I've
heard about feminist critique of natural science has been in the form of
conservative rebuttals on the level of "these feminists want to go back
to a genocentric universe because it's earth centered." Please post some
bibliography that you would recommend.
Thanks,
