Summary/Abstract: The view of science as neutral and not subject to the influence of class, race, gender nationality and politics, was largely rejected during the 1960s and 1970s. Certain movements that focused on the social use of science had recognized science as a vehicle of the capitalist movement and as a means of exploitation, pronouncing science an extended accomplice to the subordination of women, minorities, and underdeveloped countries. One of these movements is the feminist movement. Prior to the criticism of these movements, science was thought of as objective and valueneutral.
