4000 Years of Women in Science

This site documents the history of women in science by providing a long list of biographies including female scientists from a range of disciplines. The site design is old and the navigation is basic, but a large amount of information on certain individuals is available throught this site and its links. The site offers a short introduction, the biographies, a few images, and a bibliography. Visitors can select whether to browse the biographies alphabetically, by date of birth, or by field. The site boasts more than 100 records, but many are one-sentence descriptions which are not useful.

4000 Years of Women in Science

This site compiles over 130 biographies of women scientists throughout the ages organized alphabetically, chronologically, and by discipline. A handful of images are also available, as is an extensive bibliography. Unfortunately most of the site has not been updated since 1999 and many of the off-site links are no longer valid.

Antiqua Medicina - from Homer to Versalius

Antiqua Medicina is an exhibit created by the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center. This electronic display was generated from materials assembled for a print exhibit of the same name created in fall 1996. The exhibit is broken into 18 'rooms' that trace the history of medicine from Homer to Vasalius. Subjects including Hippocrates, Galen, military medicine and sanitation are covered; the essays provide an interesting introduction to the history of medicine. Scholars may also find some of the many images to be useful.
