Women and Geology in the 17th to 19th Centuries
The first female Fellows were not elected to the Geological Society of London until 21 May 1919. This is not to say, however, that women did not participate in the science or were not recognised by their geological peers for their work.
This exhibition highlights the activities of a number of women, found in the historical collections of the Library of the Geological Society, who were involved in geology and its related sciences between the 17th and 19th Centuries.
