Features: The study of the history of science from a gender perspective has become a new hotspot in the international research on the history of science and philosophy of science in recent years, and has expanded and refined to the field of ancient Chinese science and technology history. Based on the relevant gender (feminist) foundational theories and existing research on the history of science (especially Chinese science history) abroad, this book analyzes and organizes issues in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology from a gender perspective. It holds significance for both gender studies and the study of the history of science, and is a work on the historiography of science. This book can serve as a reference for researchers in the history of science and other readers interested in the history of science, science culture, and gender issues.
