Book Review: Women in the history of science: A sourcebook by Wills, H., Harrison, E., Martin, R, & Mackey, F.

The book review discusses "Women in the history of science: A sourcebook" edited by Wills, Harrison, Martin, and Mackey. The sourcebook aims to challenge our conceptions of science and its producers by compiling primary documents that demonstrate the global participation of women in scientific knowledge creation. The book features over 57 women scientists from ancient to modern times and covers various subjects such as ancient ways of knowing, materials and manuscripts, and the production of knowledge. The book is praised for its wide selection of original sources and its representation and inclusion of Muslim women scientists. However, it is acknowledged that the book is mostly influenced by white perspectives and future projects should include perspectives from other racial, cultural, and geopolitical backgrounds. Overall, the book is considered an important resource for exploring women's history in science, technology, mathematics, medicine, and culture. [Extracted from the article]
