History Of

Women Physiologists , edited by Lynn Bindman, Alison Bruding and Tilli Tansey. Portland Press, 1993. £16.95. ISBN 1-85578-021-6. The Physiological Society originated as a scientific dining club in 1879 for men interested in animal physiology. It was not until 1915 that the first woman was elected as a member, and it is the 75th anniversary of this event that is marked by this book, which consists of brief biographies of 18 women physiologists whose scientific careers are outlined. As an introduction there is a short history of women and the Physiological Society. The next section is devoted to those - 8 out of the 18 - who received public recognition in the form of F.R.S. and/or D.B.E.: they are considered at greater length. All the biographies are written by women, themselves physiologists of high standing, who knew their subjects personally or through close associates. (The final section has details of each contributor.)

The Relationship

This essay surveys recent scholarly work on the political theory of empire and international relations in Britain during the long nineteenth century. It traces the dominant themes and arguments to be found, points to some interpretative and methodological weaknesses, and highlights a number of topics that remain to be explored in detail. I focus on the following: the relationship between liberalism and empire and, in particular, the role played by the idea of civilization in circumscribing liberal claims to universality; the nature and evolution of international law, and the key role that jurisprudential thought played in shaping conceptions of civilization and setting the bounds of legitimacy for imperialism; the vexed relationship between the history of imperial thought and cultural/political history; and the important, though frequently marginalized, role of the colonial empire in the Victorian imperial imagination. Finally, I suggest that areas that remain to be explored in depth include non-liberal visions of international affairs; the role of theology in shaping conceptions of global order; and the balance between the United States, Europe, and the various (and very different) elements of the empire.
