Science and Sensibility: Gender and Scientific Enquiry, 1780-1945 - Hardcover

This book aims to combine the objectification of women as the subject matter of scientific enquiry with an exploration of women's involvement in the pursuit of science between 1780 and 1945. It examines three areas: women's active involvement with science as practitioners, gender representation within science, and the tensions between science and feminism. This book emphasizes the interaction between these areas.
