Uses Harding′s 1986 book. The Science Question in Feminism,
as a framework for examining the implications of some feminisms for
accounting. First explores feminist empiricism which challenges
the exclusion of women from prominent professions. Second, addresses
feminist postmodernism, which explores the differences among
women and contends that no over‐arching feminist theory can be found.
Third, analyses the feminist standpoint. Advocates that the
current masculine system be replaced by one that is infused with a
feminist perspective. Discusses and critiques each of the three
theories, and explores the implications for accounting.
