Drawing on texts, images and objects, each primary source is accompanied by an explanatory text, questions to prompt discussion, and a bibliography to aid further research. Arranged by time period, covering 1200 BCE to the twenty-first century, and across 12 inclusive and far-reaching themes, this book is a companion to students and lecturers alike in exploring women’s history in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, medicine and culture.
