Paperback. Condition: New. This compilation explores in depth the lives and achievements of fifteen remarkable women chemists and biochemists whose stories deserve to be widely known. Although women's contributions to science are increasingly being recognized, many still remain in the shadows. This book brings these accomplishme…nts to light, celebrating figures such as Eunice Foote, who first discovered the greenhouse effect, and Alice Ball, a pioneering African-American chemist whose work was integral to the development of an effective treatment for leprosy. For each of the fifteen profiles, the authors draw extensively on contemporary sources, bringing each individual and her era vividly to life through a rich tapestry of quotations and historical context.Each account follows a distinctive structure, beginning with a contextual overview that sets the scene for the individual's time and circumstances, followed by a detailed narrative of her life and scientific contributions. The chapters conclude with reflections on why these contributions were overlooked for so long - examining themes such as the Matilda effect, discovery appropriation, and premature discovery. This book offers an engaging, insightful, and deeply researched exploration of these women's lives, their lasting impact on science, and the broader story of women's place in the scientific enterprise - both past and present.

Hardback. Condition: New. 2022 ed. This book presents the pioneering role of the women chemists at the London School of Medicine for Women (LSMW). The account is placed within the framework of the long-forgotten background to the founding of this unique Institution, and the individuals whose lives came together to make it happen…: Sophia Jex-Blake; Elizabeth Garrett Anderson; Edith Pechey; and Isabel Thorne. The London School of Medicine for Women (LSMW) was the first School in Britain to enable women to gain medical qualifications. Though its pioneering medical role is beginning to be recognized, the Chemistry Department at the School has been totally overlooked. All first-year students at the LSMW had to spend a significant portion of their time taking theoretical and practical chemistry, taught by dedicated women chemistry instructors. In this book, particular attention is given to each of these exceptionally-talented women chemists who found a haven at, and devoted their lives to, the LSMW. This book also covers theenthusiasm of the women medical students which becomes evident through the chemistry prose and poetry which they wrote. This book will appeal to a wide readership interested in the early role of women in science, and it is particularly relevant to those interested in the lives and contributions of pioneering women chemists.

Hardback. Condition: New. Continuing their research uncovering the lives of women chemists at the turn of the 20th Century, Geoff and Marelene Rayner-Canham have turned their attention to some of the male chemists who enabled women to thrive in chemistry.This book provides an insight into the character of 14 male chemists and th…eir female students. Using contemporary quotes, the authors build an interesting narrative, demonstrating how the support and encouragement of their students was reciprocated with significant contributions to their fame and research.Beyond the lives of individuals, readers will explore a period of social change in chemistry, not only the acceptance of co-educational teaching, but also the development of domestic chemistry as a subject. Significantly, this period also saw the acceptance of women into the Chemical Society, championed by several of the men featured.
