  From 1500 to 1700, women made a substantial contribution to the development of science, medicine, technology and the philosophy of ideas. The contributors provide studies on women in science and medicine, and explore methodologies for women's history. This collection throws light on the achievements of women in the fields of science, medicine and technology and offers a basis for recondisering discipline boundaries which have conspired to write women out of much intellectual history.
