Women
have been active participants in the chemical sciences since the beginning of recorded history. Yet, although female chemists have been profoundly involved in crucial breakthroughs such as the double helix of DNA, nuclear fission, the structure of penicillin, and anti-virals like AZT, the only female chemist most people have heard of is Marie Curie. This informative and lively book sheds new light on the worldwide history of women in chemistry by tracing the lives, times, and scientific contributions of more than 50 female chemists from antiquity through to the present. These stimulating biographies of medieval alchemists, independent researchers, and Nobel laureates recount the impressive scientific accomplishments of these women and the influence of social and historical context on their professional education, research directions, and interactions with the male scientific establishment. Some of the trailblazing women covered are (an asterisk indicates a Nobel Prize winner): • Emilie du Chatelet • Marie Anne Paulze-Lavoisier • Agnes Pockels • Ellen Swallow Richard • Yulya Lermontova • Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin • Rosalind Franklin • Irene Joliot-Curie* • Maria Goeppert-Mayer* • Icie Macy Hoobler • Gertrude Bell Elion* • May Sybil Leslie • Katharine Burr Blodgett ORDER FROM: Publication Support Services, • Emma Perry Carr • Mary Fieser.
This book will be particularly enjoyed by those interested in chemical education, general chemistry, science history, and women's studies. Co-published with the Chemical Heritage Foundation 240 pages (June 1998) Clothbound 0-8412-3522-8 $34.95
