Abstract
To borrow inspiration from a significant historical feminist figure: I believe women belong in all rooms where science is happening. By writing this thesis, I am interested in discovering the difference between “men’s science” and “women’s science” in England during the 17th century. I have a specific interest in the spaces where these forms of science were practiced, what rules governed those spaces, and the main pillars of thought upheld by the scientists in those spaces. I seek to analyze how these spaces are discussed in Margaret Cavendish’s body of literary work, and in so doing, analyze how she uses these spaces to her advantage in the world outside her writing.
