<p>"On International Womens Day, Suffrage Science 2013 unites the voices of leading female scientists in the engineering and physical sciences underpinning medicine" -- introduction.</p>

56 pages : illustrations (some color), portraits ; 25 cm

Suffrage science 2013 / [editor, Lux Fatimathas ; produced by the Public Engagement, Media & Grants Facility MRC Clinical Sciences Centre].

<p>Offering a unique perspective on the intersection of art and science, the historic curiosities in this collection reveal their creators remarkable capacity for artistic expression. Assembling nearly 200 pieces from the collection of George Loudon, the volume encompasses a vast assortment of objects relating to nineteenth-century life sciences. Originally designed to capture the complex structures of nature, they range from books and illustrations to botanical specimens and anatomical models. Having lost most of their original pedagogical function over time, the objects are now open for contemporary reappraisal; acquiring new values that can inspire, seduce and even disorientate today's viewer. Alongside new photography by Rosamond Purcell, explanatory texts on the objects by Loudon, an essay by Robert McCracken Peck, and a conversation between Loudon and Lynne Cooke together offer insight into the objects original context and potential for new perspectives.</p>
