Alphonse Rebière was a 19th-century advocate for women's scientific abilities. He wrote the book Les Femmes dans la science. Rebière's piece followed the encyclopedia format, listing the woman alphabetically, giving their names, dates of birth, the social conditions under which they had lived, their contributions and publications. He included "professional and amateur" scientists and those who aided in contributions in "the progress of science." Included in Rebière's book was a section of appended works filled with opinions of famous people on the question "whether or not woman is capable of scientific pursuits." [1] His work is revolutionary in that other works with similar information were never published, and he was a pioneer to be one of the first to include women in the field of science.
Les Femmes dans la science
Translated: The Achievements of the German Woman
