The article is one of several contributions in a collection on women in mathematics and sciences. It is a revised version of an earlier article (1989) by the same author. Daston considers the idea of a specifically female intelligence against the backdrop of the history of the notion of human intelligence in general. She finds that the duality of male and female with respect to intelligence has been replaced during the course of the history of philosophy and science by a continuum of gradual differences. The final death blow to that duality was dealt, in the opinion of the author, by Lewis Terman's standardization of the psychological Stanford-Binet-Test in 1916. In her concluding remarks, the author stresses that the duality of male and female was not just conditioned by scientific developments but was at the same time socially constructed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00012].
