What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Their bodies were weaker, their minds feebler, their role subservient. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin asserted that women were at a lower stage of evolution...(展开全部)

乔治·萨顿(George Sarton，1884～1956)，出生于比利时，但是在美国成就了他的事业。正是在他手中，科学史最终成为一门正式学科。1913年他创办了著名科学史杂Isis，并担任主编长达40年。1940年他被任命为哈佛大学的科学史教授。人们认为他创造了科学史这门学科的“工具、标准以及批判的自觉性”，故誉之为“科学史之父”。萨顿生前出版了15部专著，发表了340多篇论文和札记，编辑了79份详尽的科学史重要研究文献目录。这些都是他留给后人的珍贵遗产。
