Linda Fedigan’s contributions to gender and primatology are discussed in relation to two books that, from a science studies perspective, were key turning points in this aspect of primatology’s history. One is Donna Haraway’s (1989) Primate Visions, and the other is Shirley Strum and Linda Fedigan’s (2000) Primate Encounters. Fedigan’s publications about gender and primatology span years before, during and after these important intellectual syntheses and call to action. Her work is considered here as an object of study by science studies practitioners, for the unique insights she provided to this field, and as a toolkit for testing possible real outcomes of current gender imbalances in primatology and other sciences. |
