Revealing New Worlds

Three Victorian Women Naturalists

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Victorian women certainly recognized that male naturalists were not always willing to welcome them warmly into their inner sanctum of scientific work, honor and prestige. This book examines the ability of women to understand themselves and respond to their needs as complex human beings. Within a framework of socially and scientifically constructed norms, these Victorian women used science as a path to self awareness and intellectual accomplishment.
