Abstract. For
many years, the role of women in higher education and in the job market itself
has observed biases as seen in the struggles of society with the breakthroughs
of underrepresented persons whose voices were unheard. In this manuscript, we
wish to examine the roles that Germans played in recognizing females as
productive scientists as well as useful colleagues. In the scientific world at
that time. Some men like Robert Bunsen of Heidelberg, gave opportunities to
women without being that supportive to their plight, while others such as
August von Hofmann were truly pioneers in the arena of women’s success in
science.
Key Words: Chemistry and History; women’s success in science
