Gender and Boyle's Law of Gases:

Gender and Boyle's Law of Gases:

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Boyle's Law of Gases, developed in the mid-1600s, has always been considered an example of good scientific work. Now there is controversy over whether Boyle's work was based only on the experimental evidence or was influenced by the politics and religious controversies of the time, including especially class and gender politics. Elizabeth Potter argues that even good science is sometimes influenced by gender and class politics, and she shows that the work leading to the Gas Law, while certainly based on the experimental evidence, was also based on class and gendered considerations.
