Elizabethan Gentlewomen and the Practice of Chymistry
#1
Sienna Latham.

A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History

This thesis explores the advent of gentlewomen's chymical activities in Elizabethan England. In the sixteenth century, chymistry gained widespread currency under Queen Elizabeth I. This thesis argues that the queen's significant chymical interests contributed to her iconography, thereby bridging England's previously discrete chymical and female realms.
