First published in 1873, this volume contains the memoirs and selected correspondence of the polymath Mary Somerville (1780–1872), best known for her contribution to the dissemination of scientific knowledge through her numerous publications. The story of her struggle to forge an intellectual life against traditional gender-bound constraints is compelling.
