Revealing New Worlds Three Victorian Women Naturalists

"Suzanne Le-May Sheffield has done a fine job of recreating the diverse circumstances of these three remarkable women, overturning the assumption that Victorian women were helpless in the face of the roles that men had in mind for them, without ever denying that they were oppressed...Among its many achievements, this book should prompt a rethinking of the ways in which natural history became biology during the nineteenth century."Sheffield, Suzanne LeMay is the author of 'Revealing New Worlds Three Victorian Women Naturalists' with ISBN 9780415270694 and ISBN 0415270693.
