摘要：

In this paper, I argue that feminist. geographers need to scrutinize the claims being made by the three identifiable epistemological orientations in feminist geography regarding the use of numbers, for each offers a different view of objectivity and a different way to count. I go on to pursue a refinement of a critical feminist epistemology grounded in a mediated objectivity one located in the embeddedness of everyday life. Within this framework, I suggest that numbers are useful, but only in context.
