Der Matthäus Matilda-Effekt in der Wissenschaft
Has Feminism Changed Science? (review)
Londa Schiebinger is best known for her 1989 book The Mind Has No Sex?, which dealt with women and gender in early modern European science and medicine. Here she turns her attention to the late-twentieth-century United States, mostly the 1980s and 1990s. She has divided the topic into nine chapters, based on published sources. The first part deals with "pipeline" issues that show large increases in the number of women earning degrees in almost al…
L'effet Matthieu Mathilda en sciences
Dans son autobiographie Enigmas of Chance, le mathématicien Mark Kac décrit le voyage qu’il a effectué en Pologne, en 1980, pour prononcer un discours à la mémoire d’un physicien pratiquement tombé dans l’oubli : Marian Smoluchowski. Cet oubli, Kac l’attribue non pas à sa mort prématurée à l’âge de 45 ans, à la longueur de son nom, ou même au fait que sa carrière s’est déroulée en Europe de l’Est, mais à l’« effet Matthieu » : ses réalisations on…

Science at Harvard University: Historical Perspectives
The Matthew Matilda Effect in Science
Recent work has brought to light so many cases, historical and contemporary, of women scientists who have been ignored, denied credit or otherwise dropped from sight that a sex-linked phenomenon seems to exist, as has been documented to be the case in other fields, such as medicine, art history and literary criticism. Since this systematic bias in scientific information and recognition practices fits the second half of Matthew 13:12 in the Bible,…

Women Scientists in America: Struggles and Strategies to 1940
This volume describes the activities and personalities of the numerous women scientists--astronomers, chemists, biologists, and psychologists--who overcame extraordinary obstacles to contribute to the growth of American science. This history recounts women's efforts to establish themselves as members of the scientific community and examines the forces that inhibited their active and visible participation in the sciences.

Although the lofty rhetoric accompanying the founding of the major American graduate schools seemed to indicate that they would be open to both sexes, the first women applicants quickly learned that this access was often not available. Their eventual admission and first degrees, which came as early as the 1870s at Boston University and as late as the 1960s at Princeton University, was the result of a series of skirmishes at several European as we…

Benjamin Silliman and the Lowell Institute: The Popularization of Science in Nineteenth-Century America
IN the early 1840's, audiences of 2,000 persons assembled at the Lowell Institute in Boston to hear Benjamin Silliman of Yale College lecture on science. This event has been seen as a symbol of the popularization of science in the Jacksonian period, when men, caught up in the cult of self-improvement, fought to attend lectures on the wonders of God's creation.' But the phenomenon is important in another way. It modifies Tocqueville's view of Amer…
