It is possible for science to be different? Science has already changed, as new perspective on it opened to us. In this essay I consider the perspective accessible from the standpoint of women in science. I review the novelties that such a perspective has brought to science in past decades, and I highlight the conceptual tools that feminism can offer to imagine the science we wish for. The case of women in science provides an inspiration to find effective ways to support other groups that are marginalized currently in scientific institutions, and includes new desirable feature to a future better science.
