Abstract

Although women have long been engaged in science, their participation in large numbers was limited until they gained access to higher education in the last decades of the nineteenth century. The rediscovery of Mendel's work in 1900 coincided with the availability of a well trained female scientific workforce, and women entered the new field in significant numbers. Exploring their activities reveals much about the early development of the field that soon revolutionized biology, and about the role of gender in the social organization of science.

摘要

尽管女性长期以来一直从事科学工作，但直到19世纪最后几十年获得高等教育机会之前，她们大量参与科学的情况一直受到限制。1900年孟德尔著作的重新发现恰逢有一批训练有素的女性科学工作者，于是女性大量进入了这个新领域。探究她们的活动能揭示出很多关于这个很快就使生物学发生变革的领域的早期发展情况，以及性别在科学社会组织中的作用。
