- Description
- Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-1799) is best known for her curve, 'the witch of Agnesi'. She was a child prodigy who frequented the salon circuit, discussing mathematics, philosophy, history, and music in multiple languages. At twenty she wrote a collection of essays on philosophy and natural science. Later she wrote one of the first vernacular textbooks on calculus and the first book on mathematics by a woman, and was appointed chair of mathematics at the university in Bologna. In later years she became a prominent figure within the Catholic Enlightenment, gave up the academic world, and devoted herself to charitable organisations. This biography explores how Agnesi related to her world, and illuminates the achievements of eighteenth century Italian women in comparison to other European women and their status and access to scientific life.

- Examines the dearth of women in math-intensive careers. The authors analyse common explanations to it and contrast them with their own, multidisciplinary research data. Biological and cognitive differences, discrimination, personal preferences, cultural beliefs and social practices, and structural aspects of academia are considered. Research in endocrinology, economics, sociology, education, genetics, and psychology is utilised. Includes policy recommendations.

- Description
- The Moon, or more precisely the nomenclature of lunar craters, still holds up a mirror to an important aspect of human history. Of the 1586 craters that have been named honoring philosophers and scientists, only 28 honor a woman. These 28 women of the Moon present us with an opportunity to meditate on this gap, but perhaps more significantly, they offer us an opportunity to talk about their lives, mostly unknown today.

- Description
- Mainly remembered as the mistress of Voltaire, Emilie Du Châtelet (1706–1749) was a writer in her own right, who published multiple editions of her scientific writings during her lifetime, as well as a translation of Newton’s Principia Mathematica that is still the standard edition of that work in French. For this edition, Zinsser has selected key sections from Du Châtelet’s published and unpublished works, as well as related correspondence, part of her critique of the Old and New Testaments, and a treatise on happiness.

- Description
- Story of the Serbian Mileva Maric (1875-1948), who studied physics and mathematics in Switzerland as one of the first women and was the first wife of theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. She was forgotten for decades, till correspondence between them was discovered in 1986 and her story began to be told. Some claimed that she surpassed her husband and made contributions to Einstein's papers. This book, based on historical research, uncovers her life in which she struggled against a variety of obstacles, her contribution to Einstein's work and the history of the Mileva Story. Also included is an historical article on the struggle and success of women in science.

- This memoir is a personal exploration of the life, the writings and the mathematical achievements of a the 19th century Russian mathematician, Sofia Kovalevskaya (1850-1891), who became arguably the first woman to have a professional university career in the way we understand it today. Her ideas are explained in a way that is accessible to a general audience, with diagrams, marginal notes and commentary to help explain the mathematical concepts and provide context.
