It traces her extraordinary journey as a physicist, academic, and pioneer who helped shift scientific thought from Cartesian to Newtonian principles. This new edition brings significant updates: corrected historical details, newly uncovered material on Bassi’s scientific contributions and correspondence, and a reorganized structure that offers deeper insight into her networks, her strategies for advancing in a male-dominated world, and her lasting influence on women in science. Readers find a richer, more accurate narrative that situates Bassi within the intellectual and social debates of her time while exploring the broader evolution of women’s roles in science and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-12-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032277428\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47757066731660,"sku":"9783032277428","price":34.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032277428","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
