Women Chemists. A Comparative Study of the Work of Americanand European Women in Chemical Research to 1940

克里斯博士正在研究1800年至1940年间女性在化学研究领域的工作。该项目基于对技术文献中妇女出版物的审查，主要是在英国、法国、德国、俄罗斯/苏联和美国出版的期刊。克里斯博士正在为每个国家确定女性化学家完成了多少研究，她们是谁，她们在哪里工作，她们的专业领域是什么。这将提供一个独特的基础，她将在此基础上比较和对比所审议国家的女性化学家的工作。此外，她预计将填写许多参与其中的女性的传记细节。这种方法与最初的技术文献相比，提供了一幅关于女性化学家成就的图景，比迄今发表的任何文献都更广泛和更详细。该项目是正在进行的对妇女在社会中的历史作用的重新评估的一部分。

Dr. Creese is studying the work of women in chemical research between 1800 and 1940. The project is based on an examination of women's publications in the technical literature, primarily the journals published in Britain, France, Germany, Russia/USSR, and the United States. Dr. Creese is establishing for each country how much research was done by women chemists, who they were, where they were working and what areas they were specializing in. This will provide a unique base from which she will compare and contrast the work of women chemists in the countries considered. In addition, she expects to fill in biographical details for many of the women involved. This approach, with a slid basis in the original technical literature, gives a picture of the achievements of women chemists both broader and more detailed than anything so far published. This project is part of the on- going reassessment of women's historical roles in society.
