Gender and “modern” botany in Victorian England (1997)

unapi

Description “John Lindley's distinction between botany as science and as polite accomplishment signaled a campaign in early Victorian England to defeminize the field by defining a scientific botany for middle-class men. His bifurcated identification of polite botany with women and botanical science with men illustrates the directions that botanical culture took during the succeeding decades.”
