Featuring examples from China, former Czechoslovakia, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States, the contributors discuss women's engagement with science across different institutional and non-institutional sites, ranging from the laboratory and the school to the clinic, the home and the media. The volume moves beyond the professional scientist model to enlarge our understanding of women's participation in twentieth-century science and document the complex combination of factors that rendered such contributions (in)visible to contemporaries and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNegotiating in\/visibility \u003c\/i\u003edocuments the (in)visibility of women in science in the twentieth century. It combines individual and collective portraits with discussions of institutional structures, work cultures, science and domesticity, the pedagogy of science and the gendered dimensions of science communication.\u003cbr\u003eThe twentieth century was a period when women started gaining access to science education and careers in unprecedented numbers. But why have they continued to be largely absent from the 'collective memory of science'? This volume seeks to investigate the politics of (in)visibility that helped relegate women to peripheral positions in the annals of twentieth-century science and understand how they negotiated their circumstances in regional and socio-political contexts that transcend the usual focus on the Western world. The chapters draw on a wide range of historical material and a multilingual archive in languages as diverse as Chinese, Czech, English, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese and Romanian. They combine individual and collective portraits of women in science with discussions of institutional structures, work and associational cultures, science and domesticity, the pedagogy of science and science communication. \u003cbr\u003eMoving beyond simply theorizing (in)visibility, the book offers strategies for mainstreaming the history of women in science and rethinking our definitions of science, scientists and scientific labour to write more inclusive histories of knowledge making, pedagogy and communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmelia Bonea is Lecturer in Global History of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of Manchester \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIrina Nastasa-Matei is Lecturer in the Department of Political Science, University of Bucharest\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241657528594,"sku":"9781526178381","price":76.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/AzCWvmNRpR9781526178381.webp?v=1777904068","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/negotiating-in-visibility-women-science-engineering-and-medicine-in-the-twentieth-century-hardcover","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
