A World Without Women: The Christian Clerical Culture of Western Science David F. Noble
New York Knopf 1992 039455650X / 9780394556505 First Edition Hardcover Very Good With Dust Jacket Used 6.5 x 9.5 Tall
David Noble provides the first full-scale investigation of the origins and implications of the masculine culture of Western science and technology. He shows men did not thoroughly dominate intellectual life until the beginning of the second millennium of the Christian era. At this time science and the practices of higher learning became the exclusive province of the newly celibate Christian clergy, whose ascetic culture denied women a place in any scholarly enterprise. By the twelfth century, papal reform movements had all but swept away the material and ideological supports of future female participation in the world of learning; as never before, women were on the outside looking in. Noble further demonstrates that the clerical legacy of a world without women remained more or less intact through the Reformation, and permeated the emergent culture of science. Hardcover. Ivery Good. Appears unread. No markings. Dust jacket in new mylar cover. 329 pages.
