Reclaimed: The Lost History of Women in STEM, 1750-1900

Why is there such a persistent gender gap in STEM today?

What is the Matilda Effect and why are so many women scientists missing from the history books?

Join me, Kaye Jones, as I take you on a whistle-stop tour of the 18th and 19th centuries. We'll meet 79 women who worked across STEM fields. Read about the barriers they faced, learn the roots of biological sexism and let me challenge your understanding of women's collective past.

It's time for women's history to move away from the margins and get into the mainstream.

This is the first ebook in a brand-new series called Reclaimed in which we reclaim women's history, one forgotten woman at a time. We'll navigate STEM, patriarchy, spirituality, mental health and some of the most iconic events in British history - from a woman-centred perspective.

Come and join me.
