Abstract:
Feminist Methodology is an accessible and timely book which demonstrates how feminist approaches to methodology engage with debates in western philosophy to raise critical questions about knowledge production. The text: * shows that feminist methodology has a distinctive place in social research * guides the reader through the terrain of feminist methodology, disentangling confusion and clarifying how feminists can claim knowledge of gendered social existence * connects abstract issues of theory with practical issues of fieldwork
