Wikidata:WikiProject No Longer at the Margins

Histories of science have long been concerned with the development of technologies and significant discoveries, celebrating the “lone” male scientists behind those developments. These histories have not only largely overlooked the collaborative nature of science, but also (and especially) the intellectual accomplishments and contributions of women in the production of scientific knowledge. While women have always been part of science, they have been pushed to the margins–or excluded altogether–from scientific institutions and teams. Indeed, “[w]omen have long been ‘in science,’ but not central to science” (Frank Fox 2006,, quoted in Sugimoto and Larivière 2023, 4). Nonetheless, women have always found a way to engage in the scientific enterprise. Archives, likewise, demonstrate that women have always been part of science–if we look close enough, we see they are there. But to say that finding women scientists in the archival record is only a matter of looking belies the complexities of archival research and of archives themselves, the societies they document, and the very real and entrenched biases which they evidence–all of which must be disentangled by archivists and archival researchers in finding women scientists in the archives.
