The articles analyse the role that networks played in enabling, shaping and circumscribing women in their intellectual pursuits, social aspirations and ideals. They also focus on the nature of the members' relationships, how women negotiated their scientific identities and how often women could use their femininity to create new social spaces for themselves and their families. We traced different types of networks such as 'paper', 'technical', 'distant' (in its special and temporal sense), 'moral' and 'mixed', as well as how many of these networks were characterized by broad intellectual engagement that was never exclusively scientific, but also literary, poetic, educational and philosophical. date: 2022-08-03 date_type: published publisher: ROYAL SOC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsnr.2021.0072 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1973263 doi: 10.1098/rsnr.2021.0072 lyricists_name: Werrett, Simon lyricists_id: SWERR25 actors_name: Werrett, Simon actors_id: SWERR25 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: [European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union]; 787015 [Arts and Humanities Seed Fund (King's College London)]; ERC-2017-AdG [Arts and Humanities Seed Fund (King's College London)]; [MPIWG-Berlin] full_text_status: public publication: Notes and Records: The Royal Society Journal of the History of Science pages: 10 issn: 0035-9149 citation: Maerker, Anna; Serrano, Elena; Werrett, Simon; (2022) Enlightened Female Networks: Gendered Ways of Producing Knowledge (1720–1830).
