From past to future: feminist annotations for a democratic science

Abstract

Carmen Magallón carries out in this important paper a brief analysis on the contribution that women have given in the history of science. She points out that in education and practice, to know the past and transfer it is an unappreciated activity.

It is through history where can learn to appreciate the influence of social factors on knowledge, to know the circumstances that favored the participation or exclusion of different human groups in scientific development. The women scientists have been much more than one imagines, despite the obstacles that prohibited their participation in institutions of science.
