When we think of the relationship between women and science, many of us think of a wholesome array of benefits bestowed on women by science: safer and less painful childbirth and lower infant mortality rates, labor-saving conveniences for the home like washing machines, froren foods, and no-iron fabrics, the exposure and criticism of unhelpful superstitions and prejudices, and the like. For some time now, however, ferninists have been pointing an accusing finger at science, urging that the relationship between women and science has been far from a beneficial one for women.
