The link between Post-modern Feminism and Biology
For decades, there has been little connection between the scientific and feminist communities. That has changed in a post-modern feminist world because a woman's body is more important than ever to her rights as a human. Until recently, very little contact has occurred between the two communities. However in the past two decades, the feminist historians and the philosophers of science have pointed to a connection between the two topics. This source would be used to describe the intersection between the biology of a woman’s body and the objective of feminism today. The mission of post-modern feminism is to highlight women’s rights in an effort to encourage equality between the men and women. These rights start with understanding and allowing women to take control of their own body and mind.

Liberal Feminism
A general definition of liberal feminism is "the belief that women are suppressed in contemporary society because they suffer unjust discrimination." Liberal feminists argue for women’s rights "in terms of their welfare needs, equal opportunities in employment, education, and health services." The implication is that, historically, this discrimination would prevent women from entering and succeeding in science. This type of feminism shares two fundamental assumptions with the traditional method of scientific discovery. The first assumption is that humans are highly individualistic and obtain knowledge in a rational manner that may be separated from their social conditions. The second assumption is that both accept positivism as a theory of knowledge. "Positivism is a philosophical belief that all knowledge is constructed by inference from immediate sensory experiences." These two assumptions hinge on objectivity, which is a key component of the traditional scientific method. Like scientists, liberal feminists strive to be objective, which is contingent upon neutrality regarding class, race, and sex.

Racial/African-American Feminism
Racial feminism is based on the "African-American critique of the Eurocentric approach to knowledge, which maintains that race is the primary oppression over gender." It is also known to reject individualism and positivism, in favor of social construction. The main reason this type of feminism objects science is because it is viewed as a way to favor white Eurocentric needs and beliefs, while not accounting for other kinds of people. Black feminist, Patricia Hill Collins, in her book Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment claims that "by following strict methodological rules, scientists aim to distance themselves from the values, vested interests, and emotions generated by their class, race, sex, or unique situation." Maria D. and Scott Davidson in chapter 12 of their book, African-American Studies, makes mention of Patricia's claim and agrees with it, adding that black women need a feminist theory that speaks to their unique embodiment as both women and Black within a society plagued by sexism and racism. African-American feminists are on record claiming that because their oppression is doubled down, due to their gender and race, this provides them with a different perspective that both white women and African-American men cannot relate to.

Radical Feminism
Unlike liberal feminism, radical feminism rejects the possibility of science from an objective perspective and believes that "woman-centeredness can be the basis of a more equal society." Unlike racial feminism, it maintains the ideology that women's oppression is the first, most widespread, and deepest known oppression because institutions, politics, and knowledge in society reflect a male perspective to further oppress women. Scientific institutions, practice, and knowledge, in particular, are still male dominated and have been, historically. This means science, as a patriarchal institution, can potentially be used as a tool to control and harm women. This rejection of traditional, proven scientific methodology, in favor of women's personal knowledge and experience, is why this theory has been known as "radical."
