“…Women scientific writers of the period have also received some attention. Richard Nate, in "'Plain and Vulgarly Express'd" (2001) [114], argues that, while Margaret Cavendish as a woman could not be a member of the Royal Society, her later writings express many of the rhetorical principles of this group, and Denise Tillery, in "'English Them in the Easiest Manner You Can': Margaret Cavendish on the Discourse and Practice of Natural Philosophy" (2007) [115], evaluates the rhetoric of science that Cavendish developed that in some ways opposed the principles of the Royal Society. Henrietta N. Shirk, in "Contributions to Botany" (1997) [116], evaluates the effectiveness of two 18th-century women botanists, Elizabeth Blackwell and Priscilla Bell Wakefield; and Daniel J. Philippon, in "Gender, Genus, and Genre" (2001) [117], examines the nature writing of three 18th-century American women: Eliza Lucas Pinnckney, Martha Daniell Logan, and Jane Colden Farquhar.…”
