In exploring the history of the social construction of gender/race/class in Western scientific discourse and examining the legacy of these persisting constructions in modern research on women's health, the authors join in a growing debate about sexism/racism/classism in women's health research--a debate being forwarded most forcefully by feminist epidemiologists. A major purpose of this article is to aid in the development of a new research paradigm for examining the relationship between gender, race, and class, one that considers the interdisciplinary theorizing of Third World feminists and European/American feminists of color. Following the examination of both historical and epistemological issues surrounding interlocking forms of oppression based on gender/race/class, the authors propose a feminist research agenda that not only is responsive to different women's health needs, but can potentially contribute to a process for understanding and answering the health needs of all persons.
在探究西方科学话语中性别/种族/阶级的社会建构历史，并审视这些持续存在的建构在现代女性健康研究中的遗留影响时，作者们参与了一场关于女性健康研究中性别歧视/种族主义/阶级歧视的日益激烈的辩论——这场辩论由女性主义流行病学家最为有力地推动着。本文的一个主要目的是助力发展一种新的研究范式，用于审视性别、种族和阶级之间的关系，这种范式会考虑第三世界女性主义者以及欧美有色人种女性主义者的跨学科理论。在考察了围绕基于性别/种族/阶级的相互交织的压迫形式的历史和认识论问题之后，作者们提出了一个女性主义研究议程，它不仅能回应不同女性的健康需求，还可能有助于推动一个理解和满足所有人健康需求的进程。
