A foundational text in understanding the legacy and ongoing challenges of women in STEM, this volume is one of the earliest comprehensive surveys of women's contributions to science, from astronomy and mathematics to medicine and zoology.

Written by H. J. Mozans, (pen name of Jesuit scholar John Augustine Zahm), this work offers a detailed and wide-ranging account of female scientists throughout history. First published in 1913, it spans multiple disciplines, highlighting the intellectual achievements of women whose work had been overlooked, under-credited, or forgotten.

While grounded in the social and cultural frameworks of its time, Early Women in Science presents a forward-thinking argument for women's intellectual equality. Essential reading for those engaged in women's history, gender studies, and the history of science, this volume serves as both a historical record and an early voice in the movement towards gender equity in science.
