具體描述
Winner of the Ludwik Fleck Book Prize, Society for Social Studies of Science, 1995
Eighteenth-century natural historians created a peculiar, and peculiarly durable, vision of nature—one that embodied the sexual and racial tensions of that era. When plants were found to reproduce sexually, eighteenth-century botanists ascribed to them passionate relations, polyandrous marriages, and suicidal incest, and accounts of steamy plant sex began to infiltrate the botanical literature of the day. Naturalists also turned their attention to the great apes just becoming known to eighteenth-century Europeans, clothing the females in silk vestments and training them to sip tea with the modest demeanor of English matrons, while imagining the males of the species fully capable of ravishing women.
Written with humor and meticulous detail, Nature’s Body draws on these and other examples to uncover the ways in which assumptions about gender, sex, and race have shaped scientific explanations of nature. Schiebinger offers a rich cultural history of science and a timely and passionate argument that science must be restructured in order to get it right.

用戶評價
性彆視角的科學史片段：“哺乳動物”的命名與林奈支持母乳喂養反對女性進入公共領域有關；對於猩猩的研究如何受到英國維多利亞時期性彆分工的影響，等等，選取的主題都很有意思。
评分章章都是科普貼。哺乳動物應該叫吸奶動物，母猿與女人的區彆是女人與男人的區彆……有趣。去打印的時候，3號打印店的男老闆對封麵看瞭好久問我，你是新聞學院的？
评分結構緊湊，主題鮮明，語言平實，結論簡單。
评分植物學，動物學，分類學，和社會性彆的勾搭過程。迴憶起來Columina寫路斯空間分析那本書，正是受簡單的社會二元性彆概念的影響。
