Neeley (technology, culture, and communication, U. of Virginia) examines how Mrs. Somerville created a room of her own in the world of science; the problem of finding language to aptly categorize such feminine accomplishments without making them appear exceptions; her poetic rhetoric of science in such works as Mechanism of the Heavens (1831); and her writings on women's roles. The author suggests that Somerville is less known than other early notable woman scientists because her life was otherwise so normal. Th includes a frontispiece self-portrait of Neeley. Annotation c.
