By contextualizing their achievements within the broader social, cultural, and scientific landscapes of their time, this book enables readers to seize the challenges these women confronted and the obstacles they triumphed over. Alongside narrating how they shaped the development of chemistry, including their contributions to the body of chemical literature, it also emphasizes pivotal moments and milestones in the history of women's emancipation. The book's comprehensive and integrative approach, complemented by engaging storytelling, renders it an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and general readers alike. 0aChemistryxHistory. 0aSciencexHistory. 0aSciencexStudy and teaching. 0aSex.14aHistory of Chemistry.24aHistory of Science.24aScience Education.24aGender Studies.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303157135008iPrinted edition:z978303157137408iPrinted edition:z978303157138140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57136-7
