The Feminist Standpoint Theory Reader: Intellectual and Political Controversies by Sandra G. Harding

bibliophage's review

A must-read collection for anyone interested in F/feminist theory. Sometimes the pieces were dense difficult to grasp, but with careful reading (and I believe solid discussion) the theory can be worked out, critiqued, and developed. Standpoint theory is an excellent starting point for reconsideration of objectivity in research and for me, epistemology in general (knowledge production, knowledge validation, knowledge collection, etc.). I especially loved the bell hooks piece.
