Nuncius Library no. 63 - More than pupils

Area:	Institute
Start:	1 March 2007
Description:	The volume "More than pupils: Italian Women in Science at the Turn of the 20th Century", published by Olschki and edited by Raffaella Simili and Valeria P. Babini, offers new research perspectives by illustrating how teacher-pupil relationships were real and fruitful in the context of Italian science between the 19th and the 20th centuries. It is the story of students, disciples and assistants: women who, thanks to extraordinary teachers (Volterra, Peano, Grassi, Golgi, Levi, Lombroso), gained autonomy, professional maturity and awards from a professorial chair up to the Nobel Prize (R. Levi Montalcini, A. Foà, C. Fabri, E. Freda, M. Bakunin, G. Lombroso, G. Cattani, R. Brunetti, R. Monti).
