"Woman in Science"

I have posted for a while about cool old science books.  Here is one, "Woman in Science" by H. J. Mozans (pseudonym for Rev. John A. Zahm, CSC) from 1913. Mozans profiles women in history involved in the sciences (up to the early 20th century). He argues that women have been less prominent in science because of a lack of career and educational opportunities. It was one of the first surveys of the subject, aimed at encouraging women to pursue careers in science. Purchased from the bookseller Type Punch Matrix.
