Seminar and discussion: How Do We Write Women in the History of Science?

Were women written out of the history of science? Or was science history written from a masculine perspective, concerning topics and sites explored? Did history of science ignore those roles that were predominantly feminine? This seminar offers an opportunity to address these questions by putting two historical approaches in dialogue : the scientific biography and the cohort analysis of female practitioners.
