Sexual Visions: Images of Gender in Science and Medicine Between the Eighteenth and Twentieth Centuries (Science and Literature)
Description:
Noticeably deficient in the gratification of prurient interests. Jordonova (history, U. of Essex) argues that the concern of biological and medical sciences with such oppositions as male/female, reason/emotion, and science/nature, mediated the overall culture's preoccupation with sex roles and gender distinctions. A powerful and erudite contribution to the history and philosophy of science and the fields of women's studies, biology, art history and cultural studies. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
