THE FEMALE AUTHORS HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS MONOGRAPH REPRESENT A SPECIAL BREED OF SCIENCE WRITER, WOMEN WHO NOT ONLY SYNTHESIZED THE SCIENCE OF THEIR DAY (OFTEN DRAWING UPON THEIR OWN DIRECT EXPERIENCE IN THE LABORATORY, FIELD, CLASSROOM, AND/OR PUBLIC LECTURE HALL), BUT USED THEIR WORKS TO SIMULTANEOUSLY EDUCATE, ENTERTAIN, AND, IN MANY CASES, EVANGELIZE. WOMEN PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE POPULARIZATION OF SCIENCE IN THE 19TH CENTURY, AS PENNING SUCH WORKS (WRITTEN FOR AN AUDIENCE OF OTHER WOMEN AND CHILDREN) WAS CONSIDERED PROPER "WOMEN'S WORK." MANY OF THESE WRITERS EXCELLED IN A PARTICULAR LITERARY TECHNIQUE KNOWN AS THE "FAMILIAR FORMAT," IN WHICH SCIENCE IS DESCRIBED IN THE FORM OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN CHARACTERS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN. HOWEVER, THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WERE CONSIDERED MORE “FEMININE” THAN THE NATURAL SCIENCES (SUCH AS ASTRONOMY AND PHYSICS), HENCE THE NUMBER OF GEOLOGICAL “CONVERSATIONS” WAS LIMITED. THIS, IN TURN, MAKES THE FEW THAT WERE COMPLETED ALL THE MORE CRUCIAL TO ANALYZE.

Críticas:
“In this richly referenced book on female science writers in the 19th century, Larsen (Central Connecticut State Univ.) provides information on popular science writing in general while specifically focusing on books written by women. ... This volume focuses specifically on subjects less acceptable for study by women: geology, mineralogy, and chemistry. ... Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.” (M. Rossi, Choice, Vol 56 (1), September, 2018)
Reseña del editor:
The female authors highlighted in this monograph represent a special breed of science writer, women who not only synthesized the science of their day (often drawing upon their own direct experience in the laboratory, field, classroom, and/or public lecture hall), but used their works to simultaneously educate, entertain, and, in many cases, evangelize. Women played a central role in the popularization of science in the 19th century, as penning such works (written for an audience of other women and children) was considered proper "women's work." Many of these writers excelled in a particular literary technique known as the "familiar format," in which science is described in the form of a conversation between characters, especially women and children. However, the biological sciences were considered more “feminine” than the natural sciences (such as astronomy and physics), hence the number of geological “conversations” was limited. This, in turn, makes the few that were completed all the more crucial to analyze.
