Women, Science and Feminism: Some Questions of Scientific Knowledge from the View Point of Feminist Epistemology

This article was very difficult for me to read. I believe it was simply because the information really did not interest me too much. The first page itself required me to read over a couple of times just so I could get a grasp of what the author was trying to get across to me. Some of the words the author used a very rarely used and trying to figure those out using my context clues was a hard task as well.

The paper was probably geared toward people that are really into science and science based issues. The title itself demonstrates the type of audience that this article would be perfect for. A feminist group may also find these article to have some meaning to them as well. Throughout the page of this article, feminism is brought up and the subject of women playing roles in science is also. The article compares feminist to science by saying, “feminist criticism and the theory of science have proceeded through several stages, becoming part of a more broadly conceived feminist reflection”.

Mariana Szapuova, the author, receives numerous amounts of credentials for her word choice throughout this paper. Her choice of words makes her sound well educated and allows the readers to believe that she knows what she is writing about. Her format is also well displayed for this type of article.
