The volume at hand unifies contributions from highly respected gender theorists in the life sciences, each of which is an innovative and worthwhile read. The German-language gender debate in the life sciences, till now mostly formed by cultural-historical and social-scientific approaches, is expanded through other approaches such as film and media. However, the expressed intention of the book, to systematically reflect gender as a category of knowledge with respect to the life sciences, is not followed through. The volume also perpetuates the flaw of many gender approaches in the life sciences: it ignores the category of disability.
