CELESTIAL VOICES: 19TH-CENTURY WOMEN WRITERS: ASTRONOMICAL IMPACT

Abstract The 19th century saw a profound transformation in both scientific inquiry and literary expression. Within this period, women’s engagement with the fields of science and literature became increasingly significant, though often overshadowed by restrictive gender roles and societal expectations. This article explores the contributions of women writers to the field of astronomy during the 19th century, with a focus on how their works navigated and challenged contemporary gender norms. By examining key figures such as Mary Somerville, Maria Mitchell, Caroline Herschel, and literary writers such as Mary Shelley, this article situates these women as pivotal actors in the intersection of gender studies, literature, and science. The narrative of women in astronomy is often underrepresented in historical accounts, but these women’s writings, advocacy, and intellectual pursuits offered both direct and indirect challenges to the gendered constraints of their time. This article also examines the impact of literary works that explored scientific ideas, furthering the notion of the cosmos as a space in which gendered hierarchies could be re-imagined and potentially dismantled.
Keywords Gender Studies, Women Writers, Astronomy, Feminist Historiography, Popular Science.
