She achieved this status through careful management of her gender identity and by creating rich, readable, and authoritative accounts of science that were rhetorically compelling, aesthetically satisfying, and valuable to the scientific community in the UK and abroad. This biography offers detailed analysis of the underlying patterns, themes, and rhetorical strategies of her major works and argues that Somerville employed a transcendent feminine style that retained the advantages but transcended the limitations usually associated with women's ways of knowing. The book advocates a new narrative for women's participation in science and demonstrates the many ways that gender relates to science and science functions in culture. 410 0$aCambridge science biographies. 606 $aWomen scientists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 615 0$aWomen scientists 676 $a500.2/092 700 $aNeeley$b Kathryn A$g(Kathryn Angelyn),$f1954-$01518013 701 $aSomerville$b Mary$f1780-1872.$0270654 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780074703321 996 $aMary Somerville$93755341 997 $aUNINA
