This paper examines an episode of the history of chemistry, the campaign for the promotion of so-called "new chemistry," dating to the second half of the 1780s, to investigate the ways in which women could build their own reputation. I focus on the case of Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier (1758-1836), today known as the wife and scientific associate of the French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794). Drawing on a wide set of published and unpublished sources - laboratory notebooks, travel diaries, letters, and drawings - I will delve deeper into their collaboration, showing how Paulze-Lavoisier appropriated the campaign for the new chemistry to appear as a visible actor in the scientific circles of the time. I will then highlight the multiple self-representations she produced while participating in these events.
本文考察了化学史上的一个事件，即 18 世纪 80 年代后半叶倡导所谓“新化学”的运动，以调查女性建立自己声誉的方式。我关注的是玛丽-安妮·保罗泽-拉瓦锡（Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier，1758-1836 年）的案例，她今天被称为法国化学家安托万-洛朗·拉瓦锡（Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier，1743-1794 年）的妻子和科学助手。本文利用广泛的已发表和未发表的资料——实验室笔记本、旅行日记、信件和图画——深入研究他们的合作，展示保罗泽-拉瓦锡如何利用新化学运动来使自己在当时的科学界作为一个可见的参与者出现。然后，我将强调她在参与这些活动时所产生的多种自我表现。
