Books by Londa Schiebinger

This book explores the history of drug development and testing in the eighteenth-century Atlantic World, looking especially at whether slaves were exploited in human medical experiments at the time.

This book is a history of women in science and an assessment of the role of gender in shaping scientific knowledge. Schiebinger considers the lives of women scientists, past and present, and debunks the myth that women scientists-because they are women-are somehow more holistic and integrative and create more cooperative scientific communities.
