"This is an important book that has much to offer practicing scientists but probably will not be read by many of them. That is a shame, because its bold claims are usefully unsettling and its argument begs for engagement. One of the basic messages of Whose Science? Whose Knowledge?--that all fields of natural science are best analyzed from within the social sciences, of which they are logically a part, rather than taken as external models for the social sciences--has potential consequences for most, perhaps all, scientific practice."--Rayna Rapp, New School for Social Research, Science, Vol. 256, May 1992
--Rayna Rapp, New School for Social Research, "Science, Vol. 256, May 1992 ""Harding's account offers a good insight into a variety of feminist responses to the hegemony apparently exercised by scientific thinking. Some readers will take the book as a challenge to the sociology of science to examine its arguments and assumptions in the light of standpoint theory and feminist postmodernism."--Steven Yearley, British Journal of Sociology
"Whose Science, Whose Knowledge? represents a transition from gender to power considerations in Harding's continuous efforts to raise questions about the theory and practice of science."--Shulamit Reinharz, Gender & Society
