The Queendom of Ambition: The Laboratories and Libraries of the Metropolis as centres of Feminist Networks (c.1850-1935)

路易莎·梅·奥尔科特观察到，妇女被称为女王已经有很长一段时间了，但她们所拥有的王国不值得统治。这概括了伦敦皇家协会的妇女们早期的努力，由于她们的稀有和精湛，她们被命名为各自领域的女王。这种对女性在科学界的独特性的强调，唤起了一种偶然的天才感，女性被降级到被称为女士之夜的准专业晚会。这项研究将证明女性公司在知识界的重要性，如谈话，以及这些妇女如何继续网络和合作，使他们的声音被听到。女性知识分子在首都的公开亮相引发了涟漪反应，影响了女性艺术家和作家的表现。随后，一个新的女性文学团体打破了超女性的框架，并使用科学语言来呈现他们的材料。新类型的企业被视为实验，图书馆和博物馆等公共空间是创造力的实验室。在科学和艺术空间的中心，妇女正在创造一个女性网络和合作的新王国。它的遗产回荡在整个大都会和漫长的世纪。研究目标：-利用档案证据的信件，日记条目和回忆的皇家学会的成员，以确定如何女科学家收到他们的男性同行，将这些妇女如何看待对方，并寻求团结的问题。分析该协会的“女士之夜”是如何呈现给公众，以及如何促进妇女在科学领域被认为是在私人圈子;将验证这些妇女如何预期在这些事件中进行自己。确定妇女的研究是如何在conversaziones向社会，以及如何超女性化的语言被用来同时庆祝和包含他们将介绍“女性框架”的概念，在十九世纪和世纪初的科学。- 探索女性科学家如何利用这些平台来颂扬她们的妇女参政主义哲学，以及新女性艺术家和作家如何继续庆祝女性合作。将用于“推广”这些科学家作品的超女性化语言与世纪末女性作家如何利用科学语言进行抗议进行比较。艺术劳动变成了“美学实验”，女性的创造力从一种成就“进化”为科学与艺术之间的思想交流。这项研究将通过展示创意女性如何通过在大英博物馆和大英图书馆等新的“实验室”空间进行艺术研究来提高她们在大都会的知名度来结束。

Women have been called queens for a long time, Louisa May Alcott observed, but the kingdom given them isn't worth ruling. This encapsulates the early efforts of the women of London's Royal Society, christened the queens of their respective fields due to their rarity and virtuosity. This emphasis on the singularity of women in science invokes a sense of accidental genius with females relegated to the quasi-professional soirée known as Ladies' Night. This research will attest to the significance of female company in intellectual circles such as the conversaziones, and how these women continued to network and collaborate to make their voices heard. The public presence of female intellectuals in the capital sparked a ripple effect which influenced the presentation of female artists and writers. Subsequently, a new woman literary collective broke free of the hyper-feminine framework and presented their materials using scientific language. Ventures in new genres were presented as experiments and civic spaces such as libraries and museums were laboratories of creativity. In the hub of scientific and artistic space, women were creating a new kingdom of female networking and collaboration. Its legacy reverberated through the metropolis and long-nineteenth century.Research Objectives:- Utilising archival evidence of correspondence, diary entries and recollections of the Royal Society's members to determine how female scientists were received by their male counterparts, will question how these women perceived each other and sought solidarity.- Analysing how the Society's 'Ladies' Night' was presented to the public and how the promotion of women in science was perceived in private circles; will verify how these women were expected to conduct themselves at these events.- Determining how women's research was presented to the Society at the conversaziones, and how hyper-feminine language was employed to simultaneously celebrate and contain them will introduce the concept of "feminine framing" in nineteenth and early-twentieth century science. - Exploring how female scientists used these platforms to extol their Suffragist philosophies, and how New Woman artists and writers continued to celebrate female collaboration.- Comparing the hyper-feminine language that was employed to "promote" these scientist's works with how fin de siècle female writers utilised scientific language in protest. Artistic labours became "experiments in aesthetics" and female creativity "evolved" from an accomplishment to an exchange of ideas between science and art.- This research will conclude by demonstrating how creative women increased their visibility in the metropolis by conducting artistic research in new "laboratory" spaces such as the British Museum and the British Library.
