Women are contributing to disciplines once the sole domain of men. Field biology has been no different. The history of women field biologists, embedded in a history largely made and recorded by men, has never been written. Compilations of biographies have been assembled, but the narrative-their story-has never been told. In part, this is because many expressed their passion for nature as writers, artists, collectors, and educators during eras when women were excluded from the male-centric world of natural history and science. The history of women field biologists is intertwined with men's changing views of female intellect and with increasing educational opportunities available to women. Given the preponderance of today's professional female ecologists, animal behaviorists, systematists, conservation biologists, wildlife biologists, restoration ecologists, and natural historians, it is time to tell this story-the challenges and hardships they faced and still face, and the prominent role they have played and increasingly play in understanding our natural world. For a broader perspective, we profile selected European women field biologists, but our primary focus is the journey of women field biologists in North America. Each woman highlighted here followed a unique path. For some, personal wealth facilitated their work; some worked alongside their husbands. Many served as invisible assistants to men, receiving little or no recognition. Others were mavericks who carried out pioneering studies and whose published works are still read and valued today. All served as inspiration and proved to the women who would follow that women are as capable as men at studying nature in nature. Their legacy lives on today. The 75 female field biologists interviewed for this book are further testament that women have the intellect, stamina, and passion for fieldwork.

Lab Girl est une multitude. Il est le témoignage autobiographique, intime et passionné d'une femme qui s'est battue pour devenir ce qu'elle est, et parvenir à s'imposer dans un milieu dominé par les hommes. Il est une célébration du génie végétal, du sol et de la nature qui changera à jamais votre façon de voir le monde. Il est enfin le portrait sensible et émouvant d'une amitié indéfectible. Lab Girl est le premier livre de la géobiologiste Hope Jahren. Nous la suivons depuis son enfance dans le Minnesota et ses premiers jeux dans le laboratoire de son père jusqu'à ses voyages sur le terrain, à travers les États-Unis, la Norvège et l'Irlande, accompagnée de Bill, son fidèle et brillant collègue. Les histoires qu'elle nous raconte sont une ode à la curiosité, à l'humilité et à la passion et autant de preuves que le travail et l'amour peuvent déplacer des montagnes.Lab Girl est une incitation à devenir maître de sa vie et à découvrir qui l'on est vraiment, ainsi qu'un plaidoyer pour la protection de notre environnement. Viscérale, lumineuse et souvent drôle, Hope Jahren nous invite à l'observation. Avec les yeux, mais aussi avec les mains et le coeur.
