[Women in Science] Woman scientist in white laboratory uniform works at a table filled with laboratory equipment, c. 1910. Original gelatin silver print photograph. 8 x 10 in. Many women in the early 20th century found impediments to advancing a career in the sciences, but this photo demonstrates some of the important and lesser-known historical work done by women. While challenging gender stereotypes in the early 20th century, women such as the lab worker pictured here fought discrimination to pursue their educational and professional ambitions. An important record of early women in STEM careers. In very good condition. (Inventory #: 17145)
