Beskrivning

This volume brings together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss how women contributed to the making, pedagogy, institutionalisation and communication of scientific knowledge in the twentieth century, and to reflect on the theoretical and methodological challenges of documenting such hidden contributions. Featuring examples from China, former Czechoslovakia, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States, the contributors discuss women’s engagement with science across different institutional and non-institutional sites, ranging from the laboratory and the school to the clinic, the home and the media. The volume moves beyond the professional scientist model to enlarge our understanding of women’s participation in twentieth-century science and document the complex combination of factors that rendered such contributions (in)visible to contemporaries and future generations.

Recensioner i media

'Negotiating in/visibility” advances the history of women in science in two ways. It multiplies the sites at which we look for scientific work, foregrounding schools, homes and voluntary associations alongside laboratories and clinics. It also shows that the politics of visibility must be studied within networks of travel, translation and pedagogy, not only within the walls of institutions. For historians of science, technology and medicine, as well as for gender historians and STS scholars, this is a collection to assign and to argue with. It is a model of how edited volumes can extend a field’s archive while sharpening its conceptual tools.'Masha Bratishcheva, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, H-Soz-Kult
