✦ Synopsis

As a body of feminist scholarship from the past 2 decades has persuasively shown, we can interpret science as being gendered as a masculine domain in many ways. The purpose of this essay is to show, using historical and contemporary examples, that many of these feminist analyses fit together into a compelling perspective on the ideology of science. The essay addresses how ideology affects who pursues careers in science. The implications of the gendering of science for science practice are also discussed.
