科学在18世纪的欧洲文化中盛行,其中植物学似乎更具女性气质,在社会看来更适合女性参与。林奈性分类系统和双名制命名法的确立简化了植物学,使植物学更加容易学习。18世纪60年代,林奈植物学流行于欧洲尤其是英国,大量女性参与到植物学的学习、研究和传播中,一直持续到19世纪30年代,植物学开始职业化和男性化。受到卢梭《植物学通信》的影响,女性作家们以书信和对话体的形式撰写了大量植物学普及读物。女性投身植物学的原因各异,但她们在参与植物学的传播和研究中同样都面临性别的困境。
Science flourished in European culture in the 18th century, in which botany seemed more feminine and socially more suitable for female participation. The establishment of the Linnaeus taxonomic system and the dual nomenclature simplifies botany and makes botany easier to learn. In the 1860s, Linnaeus botany was popular in Europe, especially the United Kingdom. A large number of women participated in botany learning, research and dissemination until the 1830s. Botany began to become professional and masculine. Influenced by Rousseau’s Botany Communication, women writers wrote a large number of popular books on botany in the form of letters and dialogues. Women engage in botany for different reasons, but they also face the same gender predicament involved in the dissemination and research of botany.
