Women and Gardens: A History from the Victorian Era to Today

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 profiles many unknown or intentionally ignored facts concerning the roles of women in gardening and their contributions to horticultural science. Divided into eight chapters, Women and Gardens explores the history of women in horticulture, landscape design, and ornamental plant breeding from the Victorian era to today.
