Chemistry Was Their Life
British chemistry has traditionally been depicted as a solely male endeavour. However, this perspective is untrue: the allure of chemistry has attracted women since the earliest times. Despite the barriers placed in their path, women studied academic chemistry from the 1880s onwards and made interesting or significant contributions to their fields, yet they are virtually absent from historical records.Comprising a unique set of biographies of 141 of the 896 known women chemists from 1880 to 1949, this work attempts to address the imbalance by showcasing the determination of these women to survive and flourish in an environment dominated by men. Individual biographical accounts interspersed with contemporary quotes describe how women overcame the barriers of secondary and tertiary education, and of admission to professional societies. Although these women are lost to historical records, they are brought together here for the first time to show that a vibrant culture of female chemists did indeed exist in Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Newcastle University
The University of Newcastle upon Tyne stands as a key leader in the dynamic cultural and economic regeneration of Newcastle and the North East. Yet the evolution of Newcastle's own University has been a slightly unusual process, in that it has not only celebrated a centenary in 1971, but could celebrate anniversaries in 2008 (100 years), 2037 (100 years), 2034 (200 years), 2052 (200 years), and another centenary in 2063. Why this should be is only part of the story of this book, which for the first time offers a magnificently illustrated portrait of a much-loved institution.Much more than a history, the book draws on a wide range of contemporary archive and illustrative material to offer colourful glimpses of life and learning in the city of Newcastle from its Victorian industrial heyday to a vibrant present. In addition, Newcastle alumni of all generations have contributed their own memories to make this a truly representative volume.Everyone with any connection, long-standing or new, to university life in Newcastle will cherish this book, designed and produced to the highest standards.
