Darwin’s Women

Darwin's Women from Cambridge University on Vimeo.
During his lifetime Charles Darwin corresponded with over 150 women, scientists, political agitators as well as family members (including his daughter who edited much of his work). What he has to say to them is something of a revelation, as is the respect and deference he shows them as intellects (indeed scientists) in their own right. This might be surprising to readers of The Descent of Man which cast women in a less than flattering light.
