Women in Science and Society
Chair: Aleksandra Gruzinska, Arizona State University

Scholarly contributions are invited that explore the history and
representation through the centuries of the trajectory of French and
Francophone women from modest beginnings as accoucheuses, governesses,
religious educators in convents, to self-taught investigators in
science, revolutionaries intent on empowering women in shaping their
destiny, politically savvy women leaders, women in science laboratories
with access to Nobel Prizes, Goncourt successes in literature, and
entrance into academic institutions that only recently became open to
women. Send electronic paper proposals to Aleksandra Gruzinska, School
of International Letters and Cultures, Arizona State University.
