Shteir Explores The Contributions Of Women To The Field Of Botany Before And After The Dawn Of The Victorian Age. She Shows How Ideas During The Eighteenth Century About Botany As A Leisure Activity For Selfimprovement And A Feminine Pursuit Gave Women Unprecedented Opportunities To Publish Their Findings And Views. By The 1830S, However, Botany Came To Be Regarded As A Professional Activity For Specialists And Experts And Women'S Contributions To The Field Of Botany As Authors And Teachers Were Viewed As Problematic. Shteir Focuses On John Lindley, Whose Determination To Form Distinctions Between Polite Botany What He Called Amusement For The Ladies And Botanical Science An Occupation For The Serious Thoughts Of Man Illustrates How The Contributions Of Women Were Minimized In The Social History Of Science. Despite Such Efforts, Women Continued To Participate Avidly In Botanical Activities At Home And Abroad, Especially By Writing For Other Women, Children, And General Readers.At A Time Of Great Interest In The Role Of Women In Science, This Absorbing, Interdisciplinary Book Provides A New Perspective On Gender Issues In The History Of Science.
