Focusing on the intersection of gender and botany, this study delves into the role of women in eighteenth-century British botanical literature. Samantha George examines their engagement with Carl Linnaeus's groundbreaking ideas on plant sexuality, highlighting how these discussions contributed to the cultivation of the female intellect and a unique feminized discourse within the scientific community of the time.
