Description:

A study of the rise (between 1650 and 1850) and subsequent fall in the custom for clever women to seek intellectual solace through scientific study. Indeed, until the end of the 19th c., science was considered a much more appropriate field of study for a woman than the classical education reserved for men. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
