Woman in Science: With an Introductory Chapter on Woman's Long Struggle for Things of the Mind (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The following pages are the outcome of studies begun many years ago in Greece and I taly. While wandering through the famed and picturesque land of the Hellenes, rejoicing in the countless beauties of the islands of the Ionian and JE gean seas or scaling the heights of Helicon and Parnassus, all so redolent of the storied past, I saw on every side tangible evidence of that marvelous race of men and women whose matchless achievements have been the delight and inspiration of the world for nearly three thousand years. But it was especially while contemplating, from the portico of the Parthenon, the magnificent vista which there meets the charmed vision, that I first fully experienced the spell of the favored land of Hellas, so long the home of beauty and of intellect. The scene before me was indeed enchanting beyond expression; for, every ruin, every marble column, every rock had its history, and evoked the most precious memories of men of godlike thoughts and of A thousand glorious actions that may claim Triumphal laurels and immortal fame. It was a tranquil and balmy night in midsummer. The sun, leaving a gorgeous afterglow, had about an hour before disappeared behind the azure-veiled mountains of I thaca, where, in the long ago, lived and loved the hero and the heroine of the incomparable Odyssey. The full moon, just rising above the plain of Marathon, intensified the witchery of that memorable spot consecrated by the valor of patriots battling victoriously against the invading hordes of A sia. Hard by was the A reopagus, where St. Paul preached to the superstitious Athenians on The Unknown God. Almost adjoining it was the A gora, where Socrates was wont to hold converse with noble and simple on the sublimest questions which can engage the human mind.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the often overlooked contributions of women to the world of science. Beginning with ancient Greece, the author embarks on a fascinating journey through history, showcasing the intellectual achievements of women in a variety of disciplines. Readers will encounter legendary figures like Sappho, Corinna, and Aspasia, whose brilliance in poetry and philosophy challenged the prevailing societal norms that relegated women to domestic roles. The book delves into the persistent obstacles women faced throughout history ââ â from societal expectations that limited their education and public presence to the enduring myth of male intellectual superiority. The author meticulously examines the historical context of women's struggles for education and equal opportunity, and reveals how even in periods of great intellectual ferment, such as the Athenian Golden Age, women were often excluded from pursuing knowledge. This book offers a compelling reassessment of women's role in the advancement of science, demonstrating their enduring intellectual spirit and capacity for groundbreaking contributions.
