49Violence Against Women: Philosophical Perspectives (edited book)Cornell University Press. 1998.This is the first anthology to take a theoretical look at violence against women.

34What Can Progress in Reproductive Technology Mean for Women?Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 21 (5): 499-514. 1996.This article critically evaluates the central claims of the various feminist responses to new reproductive arrangements and technologies.

51Nature and Nurture: A False Dichotomy?Hypatia 1 (1): 167-174. 1986.Nancy Tuana holds that the nature/nurture dichotomy does not accurately represent the world and hence that a whole series of assumptions about human nature is mistaken. She rejects both biological determinism and alternative interactionist views.

I …Read more
