Recenzii

“A critical stance on the methodologies deployed in the different chapters and the ways in which they interrelate would not only have illuminated the conceptual foundations of the collection, but might also have pleaded for the volume’s coherence as a whole. … this volume provides rich historical and cultural context pertaining to a variety of women’s output.” (Iulia Z Mihai, Early Science and Medicine, Vol. 26, 2021)
