Sarah Bowdich Lee (1791-1856) and Pioneering Perspectives on Natural History
This first book-length appraisal of the pioneering perspectives of Sarah Bowdich Lee (17911856) on natural history in the first half of the nineteenth century pivotally highlights the intercultural, interdisciplinary and multi-genre reach of her work. The fact that she undertook it independently and transnationally over three decadeschallenges approaches to women, gender and national nineteenth-century scientific endeavour that have defined women at work in the period by their secondary roles (to more famous men in science) that also delimit their contributions and discoveries(as domestic). By focusing on how Sarah undertook her science despite the many bars to women in its fields, this study also promotes one woman's blueprint for non-conformist independent work and, in consequence, an alternative paradigm for the 'leaky pipeline' model still informing women's careers in STEM(M) today.
History from below uncovers overlooked protagonists contributing to (inter)national endeavour often against considerable odds. Mrs T. Edward Bowdich then Mrs R. Lee (17911856) is indicative.
When women allegedly cannot participate in early nineteenth-century scientific exploration, discovery and publication, Sarah's multiple specialist contributions to French and British natural history, and to their dissemination, have surprisingly attracted no book-length study. This first appraisal of Sarah's unbroken production of discipline-changing scientific work over three decades in ichthyology, in historical geography, in the public dissemination of scientific knowledge does more than fill this gap. It also pivotally investigates the intercultural and multi-genre dynamics of Sarah's pioneering perspectives and contributions achieved often at great personal cost. Sarah's larger significance is then to challenge 'secondary' or 'leaky-pipeline' models for women's pioneering work in nineteenth-century natural history as a case study in the distinction of pertinence to women in STEM(M) today.
