This roundtable discussion features five brief presentations that explore how women participated in late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century science. As with women poets and novelists in the early days of the Romantic canon, women’s contributions to scientific discourse have often been elided. This roundtable makes visible different ways that women participated in scientific thinking in a variety of disciplines and genres. After the presentations, we will open the floor for discussion amongst panelists and attendees.

Registration for this event is free. However, we do encourage registrants to become members of NASSR.
