This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of core areas of
investigation and theory relating to the history of women and
science. Bringing together new research with syntheses of pivotal
scholarship, the volume acknowledges and integrates history, theory
and practice across a range of disciplines and periods. While the
handbook's primary focus is on women's experiences, chapters also
reflect more broadly on gender, including issues of femininity and
masculinity as related to scientific practice and representation.
Spanning the period from the birth of modern science in the late
seventeenth century to current challenges facing women in STEM, it
takes a thematic and comparative approach to unpack the central
issues relating to women in science across different regions and
cultures. Topics covered include scientific networks; institutions
and archives; cultures of science; science communication; and
access and diversity. With its breadth of coverage, this handbook
will be the go-to resource for undergraduates taking courses on the
history and philosophy of science and gender history, while at the
same time providing the foundation for more advanced scholars to
undertake further historical and theoretical investigation.
