TY - GEN T1 - Gender and American social science : the formative years A2 - Silverberg, Helene, 1958- LA - English PP - Princeton, N.J. PB - Princeton University Press YR - 1998 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1241256190 AB - This collection of essays provides the first systematic and multidisciplinary analysis of the role of gender in the formation and dissemination of the American social sciences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Other books have traced the history of academic social science without paying attention to gender, or have described women's social activism while ignoring its relation to the production of new social knowledge. In contrast, this volume draws long overdue attention to the ways in which changing gender relations shaped the development and organization of the new social knowledge. AB - And it challenges the privileged position that academic - and mostly male - social science has been granted in traditional histories by showing how women produced and popularized new forms of social knowledge in such places as settlement houses and the Russell Sage Foundation.
