SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Eleven essays by economists, anthropologists, sociologists, historians, and others provide an interdisciplinary exploration of the kinds of dilemmas feminist researchers have confronted in the field. Through experientially-based writings, the authors unravel the contradictions stemming from their contradictory positions as "insiders," "outsiders," or both, and from attempts to equalize the research relationship.
