Introduction

…

Women in the History of Science aims to expand notions of participation and investigation in the production of knowledge. This book challenges what science is and what science does. In doing so, the activities of women and less celebrated figures in the history of science become more visible. The parts do not replicate traditional accounts of the history of science that focus on the great and famous figures of invention and discovery, who are most often portrayed as men, but bring to light how women of many different backgrounds engaged with the production of knowledge both in formal scientific projects and in their everyday lives.
