Discussing different women academics, this chapter places Barber in the transnational field of natural history, showing that marginalisation was a question of gender, geographic location and class. (Southern) Women depended on networks as well as respective scientific fields, with entomology being relatively open towards women and the working class. Botany and ornithology, however, were much more exclusive, and Barber struggled to gain recognition which, in turn, led to her misrecognition. Metropolitan scientists belittled the colonial sources of the knowledge that they reproduced rather than produced. The chapter draws out the intricate mechanisms of recognition and exclusion, showing both the capital Barber had at hand as well as her constraints.
