Es wird aufgezeigt, wie sich Wissen und Wissenschaft, soziale Ordnung und Geschlechterbeziehungen gegenseitig strukturieren. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Sammelbandes konzentriert sich auf das Verhältnis von Geschlecht und Wissenschaft. Die feministische Kritik zeigt auf, dass die vermeintlich wissenschaftliche Objektivität eine in hohem Masse durch den «männlichen» Blick verzerrte ist. Gleichzeitig stellt sie die Möglichkeit von Objektivität überhaupt in Frage. Postmoderne Wissenschaftsforscherinnen verwerfen die Idee einer wertneutralen, objektiven und universalgültigen Forschung, indem sie die Situiertheit von Wissensproduktion offenlegen und propagieren.
