Sommario/riassunto

The women whose lives and work are discussed here range from natural history collectors and scientific illustrators to the first generation of graduates of the new colonial colleges and universities. A well-organized blend of individual life stories and quantitative information, this volume is for everyone interested in the story of women's participation in 19th century science.
