Feminist thinkers have been examining science critically for over a century; but who critiques the criticism? Sharyn Clough turns a discerning eye upon her own colleagues, finding that philosophy, specifically epistemology, is no longer useful to feminists engaged in science criticism.

Clough shows how inadequate empirical philosophy is in creating real change in the sciences. Instead, she supports a more pragmatic approach based on the work of Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson. This work encourages Clough's fellow feminists to refocus their critiques and discard their philosophical debates about epistemology.
