Ko, Dorothy (Author)
The seminal research of Francesca Bray (1997) and Susan Mann (1992, 1997) on women and domestic work, especially textiles, have inspired a generation of new research in cultural history and art history, and the articles presented in this special issue attest to the productivity of this emergent field of inquiry. But curiously, historians of science and technology---Bray's intended audience---have been slow in embracing gender in their research agendas (with the notable exception of historians of medicine.) The reasons for this lacuna are complex, but the three articles gathered here suggest at least one answer: that one cannot take gender and women seriously without questioning existing paradigms about innovation, knowledge-making, and skills, and thus the very meanings of science and technology.
