	Our Price: $19.95 By Marelene F. Rayner-Canham, Geoffrey W. Rayner-Can Year: 1998 Pages: 240 Binding Paperback ISBN 0-941901-27-0 Product Code: 0941901270

Description   Though rarely noted, women have been active participants in the chemical sciences since the beginning of recorded history. This thought-provoking book brings to life the many talented women who--besides the universally respected Marie Curie--made significant contributions to chemistry. The Rayner-Canhams examine the forces that have defined women's roles in the progress of chemistry, observing that many were thwarted from capitalizing on their achievements by the prejudices of their time. Their book discusses women chemists from as far past as the Babylonian civilization but focuses on professional women chemists from the mid-19th century, when women gained access to higher education.
