- Description
- Authors pay attention to the Natuurkundig Genootschap der Dames formally established by and for women. Authors look at what their story adds to the history of Western science and the relationship between women and early science and recount their pursuits. They also consider science and gender in relation to the assimilation of science and the elite lives of the first-generation members of the women's society.
