ABSTRACT

Once women are inserted into the picture, be it as objects of social-scientific research or as subjects conducting such enquiry, established paradigms are unsettled. The definition of the object domain of a research paradigm, its unit of measurement, its method of verification, the alleged neutrality of its theoretical terminology, and the claims to universality of its models and metaphors are all thrown into questions. (Benhabib 1992: 178)
