A Laboratory of Her Own: Women and Science in Spanish Culture
gathers diverse voices to address women's interaction with STEM
fields in the context of Spanish cultural production. This volume
focuses on the many ways the arts and humanities provide avenues
for deepening the conversation about how women have been involved
in, excluded from, and represented within the scientific realm.
While women's historic exclusion from STEM fields has received
increased scrutiny worldwide in recent years, women within the
Spanish context have been perhaps even more peripheral given the
complex socio-cultural structures emanating from gender norms and
political ideologies dominant in the Spanish nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. Nonetheless, Spanish female cultural producers
have long been engaged with science and technology within the
cultural realm, as expressed in literature, art, film, and other
areas. Spanish cultural production offers diverse representations
of the relationships between women, gender, sexuality, race, and
the STEM fields. A Laboratory of Her Own studies representations of
Spanish women (including non-white women) and scientific cultural
production from the late nineteenth through the twenty-first
centuries. STEM topics include the environment, biodiversity,
temporal and spatial theories, medicine and reproductive rights,
neuroscience, robotics, artificial intelligence, and quantum
physics. These scientific themes and other issues are analyzed in
narratives, paintings, poetry, photographs, science fiction,
medical literature, translation, newswriting, film, and other
forms.
