Focusing in particular on the feminist implications of the latest scientific and technological developments, this book proposes a site of resistance to hegemonic discourses and practices of science and technology. Four sections cover science as a whole, the new technologies of the postmodern era, biomedical discourses and nature. The contributors explore the central feminist concerns in each arena, through the metaphors of monster, goddess and cyborg. They argue that feminists cannot ignore the emancipatory as well as the oppressive potential of technology. Bringing together "natural" and "social" scientists, the book paves the way for a specifically feminist strategy for science, technology and health care.
