Binding Type: Boxed Set - See All Available Formats & Editions Published: July 2000 Annotation: Taking Ogilvie's groundbreaking 1986 reference "Women in Science: Antiquity Through the Nineteenth Century" as its starting point, this monumental work expands the original 270-page book into a comprehensive two-volume set containing over 2500 entries that span the globe. This critically acclaimed resource combines women's history and science history as it ranges from the woman philosophers and physicians of ancient Greece and Rome, through the "bluestockings" of the Enlightenment and culminates with the early 20th century's pathblazing pioneers. The signed A-Z entries combine fast access to resume-style details with fascinating biographical articles on these women and their lives, works, and accomplishments. Includes bibliographies of primary and secondary sources; guides to scientists by time period, country, discipline; index.
