- Summary:
-
"Ranging across centuries of history and covering numerous disciplines, Women's History as Scientists illuminates women's scientific achievements. This comprehensive, historical review of the debates surrounding women's roles in science examines their often-limited access to education, training and professional careers and organizes a vast amount of material to put the debates in sharp focus. Each chapter features a controversy that raged during a specific period, such as the professionalization of science and the exclusion of women that began in the twelfth century; the querelle des femmes, the debate over the role and value of women that raged in France for 300 years; and the debate over women in medicine that continued into the late nineteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
