Description: History from below uncovers overlooked protagonists contributing to (inter)national endeavour often against considerable odds. Mrs T. Edward Bowdich then Mrs R. Lee (1791 1856) is indicative. When women allegedly cannot participate in early nineteenth - century scientific exploration discovery and publication Sarah's multiple specialist contributions to French and British natural history have attracted no book - length study. This first appraisal of Sarah's unbroken production of discipline - changing scientific work over three decades in modern ichthyology in historical geography of West Africa and in the next - generational dissemination of expert scientific knowledge does more than fill this gap. The book also pivotally investigates the intercultural interdisciplinary and multi - genre reach of Sarah's pioneering perspectives and contributions and how she could achieve her work independently in her own name(s) over three decades. Sarah's larger significance is then to provide a very different narrative for women at work in expert nineteenth - century natural history - making. By everywhere challenging the secondary minor and domestic frames for women's contributions of the period the pioneering perspectives of Sarah's story also provide alternative paradigms to the leaky - pipeline modelstill informing women's careers and work in STEM(M) today.
