Summary
"This book examines the subversive ways in which women made their mark on the scientific landscape of eighteenth-century England. By taking advantage of intersections between domesticity, femininity, and nature, the writers and artists of this study laid claim to a specific authority on naturalist subjects, ranging from botany to entomology to natural history more broadly"--
