About the Book

The lives of many of the nineteenth century's most notable women of science are presented in English for the first time in this companion volume to Ladies in the Laboratory: American and British Women in Science. The present volume bridges a considerable gap in English literature available on women from twelve west European countries and their work in the biological and medical sciences, mathematics, and social sciences. A fascinating analysis of the work of notable women by national group, giving thorough data comparing the contributions of women in choice fields. Among the women presented are more than a few colorful personalities representative of the entire social scale, from a royal princess to the daughter of a Paris slum shopkeeper. Researchers in the field of women's history and science history will find this indexed volume a valuable resource.

Review :
Essential. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through faculty.-- "Choice Reviews" This is a highly scholarly endeavor filling a niche in both women's studies and the history of science; together with its companion book, this will be a classic resource for years to come in both disciplines. This volume is highly recommended for all academic libraries.-- "American Reference Books Annual" Ladies in the Laboratory II is both a valuable compendium of work done by women scientists in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and a fascinating recounting of their personal journeys as women and scientists....By telling their 'stories' Creese brings these early scientists to life and makes them accessible to the reader. One gets a fascinating journey into the lives of exceptional women who overcame serious social and political constraints to lead productive lives as scientists and women....it is a pleasure to read of early work in these fields...Ladies in the Laboratory II includes bibliographic references and the work is well documented. The book is useful for the scholar wishing to study activities in a particular field or country. For the more casual reader, the profiles are the most fascinating part of the work and one can return again and again to read of interesting science and to study intriguing lives. Marie Creese succeeds splendidly in casting a light on the lives of an important group of early women scientists.-- "Bulletin for the History of Chemistry"
