Woman in Science
With an Introductory Chapter on Woman's Long Struggle for Things of the Mind
Woman in Science, published in 1913 under the pen name H. J. Mozans, is the work of John Augustine Zahm, a priest and scientist of the University of Notre Dame. Its long opening chapter traces women's struggle for education from ancient Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the modern era, and a second chapter argues for women's capacity for scientific work. The chapters that follow survey women's contributions field by field, in mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and the natural sciences and beyond, from Hypatia to contemporaries of the author. Zahm writes as an advocate, and the book is an early history of women in science. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
