One of the most remarkable successes worth mentioning is that not only are women good at taking care of their families but they are also good leaders in the modern life.

Introduction: In the essay “Can There Be A Feminist Science?” by Helen E. Longino, she argues that feminist science can eliminate the bias in and produce a gender free science. Longino begins with saying that science is a male dominated area and that there are a few women in that area. The few women that are there are devalued and they haven’t been fully equal.

This was believed by many because society thought that the time used in playing
male and female, are equal. Chivalry and years of rebellion have made that rule stand. ( If the world has come to this understanding, then why have you written this essay?
