Women and Gardens

A History from the Victorian Era to Today

About this book

Judith M. Taylor’s Women and Gardens highlights the depth and breadth of women’s influence on gardens and landscapes in the last two hundred years and reveals many unknown or intentionally ignored facts concerning the roles of women in gardening and their contributions to horticultural science. Over eight chapters that investigate the obstacles and opportunities women have encountered in gardening, this book explores the history of women in horticulture, landscape design, and ornamental plant breeding from the Victorian era to today.
