| Women have been involved in botanical science throughout early modern times either as partof a scholarly household, as noble women or through their enlightenment networks. Theyparticipated in debates on botany and contributed to the circulation of botanical knowledge,although they rarely published botanical manuals themselves. In line with the growingenthusiasm for botany around the turn of the nineteenth century, bourgeois women – as well as their male counterparts – became the target audience of botanical textbooks, the so-called“Frauenzimmerbotaniken”, which promoted the supposedly high educational value of natureknowledge. Whereas botanical textbooks for women in the eighteenth century thereby do notreally indicate role differences between the sexes, those published in the nineteenth centurymirror the increasing polarisation of gender stereotypes. These publications often implied that women – by nature – were not fit for science and that only special aspects of botanical knowledge were useful for women – those related to household tasks. | |
