The Darwin family was instrumental in the history of botany. Their
experiences illustrate the growing specialization and
professionalization of science in the nineteenth century. The
author shows how botany escaped the burdens of medicine,
feminization and the sterility of classification and nomenclature
to become a rigorous laboratory science.

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.
