Daughters of Alchemy: Women and Scientific Culture in Early Modern Italy - I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History
Meredith K. Ray
Meredith Ray shows that women were at the vanguard of empirical culture during the Scientific Revolution. They experimented with medicine and alchemy at home and in court, debated cosmological discoveries in salons and academies, and in their writings used their knowledge of natural philosophy to argue for women’s intellectual equality to men.
