Abstract


This paper revises some of the most influential researches on gender and biology and books published by an increasing group of women scholars. As usual in gender studies, those concerning biology refer to those in search of women biologists in history of science, women who actively took part in generating knowledge and practices of the discipline, in one hand, and those on gender- biased and anthropocentric biological knowledge. Genealogy is linked to authority and both with gender as agency on contemporary sciences and experimentations.
