Beschreibung

This book tells the story of how women first fought for inclusion among scientific societies in Edwardian Britain. Though educational opportunities in schools and universities were improving, there were few fellowships or chances of paid employment in the sciences. Excluded from most scientific societies, women were deprived of not just the chance to share their scientific experiences with other enthusiasts but of mixing with and impressing potential employers. Barriers were overcome in many cases, but not in all. This book will explore the lives of individual women who were brave pioneers and by the outbreak of WWI had proved that they were the equals of men. Many at the heart of the struggle within the sciences were also involved in the fight for suffrage, their success in the sciences helping to change men's attitudes towards women.

Zusammenfassung

Draws on archival material to reveal the stories of several lesser known women in science during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century

Sheds light on a period of change from the 19th to the 20th century, where more women fought for and gained access to university education and education in the sciences

Appeals to scholars and readers interested in Edwardian Britain and science, women in science, and women's studies
