The author suggests that feminist approaches and ANT, as diverse as they both are in their own right, appear to have similar theoretical developmental trajectories expressing analogous ambivalences and facing the same dilemmas, at this historical moment.

She demonstrates ways in which her feels ANT might be a useful tool for feminists approaching science.
