America Transformed: Engineering and Technology in the Nineteenth Century

Admittedly, I did not read this entire book. I would love to do so, but there simply isn't time. What I have read, the chapters about science and feminist epistemologies, was very good. It's not something everyone will pick up, and not something to pick up just because (though I would), since it is dense and theoretical, but I would recommend if if you are interested in feminism and science.
