| Abstract | A woman in philosophy of physics is a suspicious character. As a philosopher of physics, she is suspect due to her gender. As a woman, she is suspect due to her allegiance to a male-dominated subdiscipline whose (typically formal/mathematical) methods, it is sometimes suggested, are hostile to feminism. Addressing the second suspicion, this essay urges that recognizably feminist theses can be articulated, investigated, and supported through formal/mathematical methods. |
