Ciencia y género

Abstract

«Science and gender». This article is concerned with the relationship between science and gender. Although women have historically been excluded from the legitimate spaces of production and dissemination of science, both from universities and scientific societies, they have always produced knowledge, both as wives and contributors to scientists and as researchers. This calls for the interest in those sites considered less legitimate, such as homes and residences, especially until the eighteenth century. After then, there is a regular sexism in scientific knowledge that results, among other things, from the scientific policies developed and implemented. This raises the question of knowledge as spatially and historically situated, as evidenced by the evolving notions of intuition and reason and their association with the masculine or feminine gender.
