Ample evidence has been provided that women historically have suffered numerous social, political, and institutional barriers to their entrance and success in the sciences. The articles in this anthology refocus the discussion and reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the issues surrounding women in the sciences. While the barriers that women have faced as researchers, subjects of research, students of science, and theorists have been well documented, this anthology breaks new ground. It presents the ways women succeed in the sciences, overcome these historical barriers, and contribute to the social practice of science and the philosophy of science in both theory and practice.

Jody Bart's areas of specialty are political philosophy with a concentration in feminist political thought and feminist epistemology and philosophy of science. In 1996 she served as the Chair of the Ewald committee at Sweet Briar College, designing, coordinating and implementing the national conference on Women Succeeding in the Sciences: Theories and Practices Across the Disciplines. Author of several papers on feminist theory, Dr. Bart travels extensively speaking at colleges and universities about her research on Goldman and other feminist political issues.
