Description and Table of Contents
Description
A controversial Frenchwoman, Clemence Royer confronted gender issues embedded in nineteenth-century science. This compelling full-scale biography examines Royer not only as Darwin's first French translator, but as social Darwinist, anthropologist, cosmologist, and feminist who challenged women's traditional roles and masculine social and scientific authority.
