Women made many early and outstanding contributions to X-ray crystallography at a time when they were excluded from most other branches of physical science. The etiology of this bright spot in the social evolution of science is sought in early childhood education, especially the Froebel kindergarten that was rooted in symmetry and lattice building exercises. This connection is explored through the formative educational experiences of eight crystallographers that are compared with those of eight astronomers. Associations with Froebel’s pedagogy are ubiquitous in the biographies of the crystallographers and wholly absent in the biographies of astronomers. Creating a more democratic scientific enterprise requires understanding the mechanisms for increasing the participation of members of unrepresented genders and ethnicities. Some of these mechanisms may be found in history. One of the crystallographers profiled, Isabel Ellie Knaggs (1893–1981), made a major contribution to the X-ray analysis of organic comp...
