Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature (1991) - Donna J. Haraway [Amazon.com]
A collection of ten essays written mostly during the eighties. With a feminist perspective and the premise that nature is constructed, rather than discovered--and that truth is made, not found--Haraway provides an analysis of the popular and scientific struggles involved in the telling of evolutionary tales. The author is a historian of science at the U. of California, Santa Cruz. Some plates and illustrations.
