Can anyone point me to good secondary literature on the history of representations of "Nature" as female?
I'm particularly interested in 19th century British thinking, but I'd welcome any more general surveys as well.

Women did all the programming heavy lifting back in the (1940s) day. This thread is great.

“Perhaps my farm experience helped me to be good at math (...) as my classmates and I moved through high school, my female math ability seemed to make people turn away from me. (...) My teacher (...) was a (...) supportive example of ‘girls can do math’.” - JoAnne Growney
Happy birthday to Canadian 
geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned

Caroline #Herschel was an absolutely fascinating woman: stunted by a childhood encounter with typhus, she was actively stopped from learning more by her mother. Yet, she prevailed, becoming the first woman to get a salary as a scientist and the first woman to be employed by the government in England:
