SUMMARY:Margaret Fountaine: the life and works of a rather ordinary Victor
 ian lepidopterist - Sophie Waring (Department of History and Philosophy of
  Science)

CONTACT:Sophie Brockmann
DESCRIPTION:Through the example of Margaret Fountaine\, I will try to demo
 nstrate that boundaries we currently use to divide and understand the natu
 ral history community in her period are not useful for furthering our  \nu
 nderstanding of this period. She transgresses supposed boundaries of profe
 ssionalism and gender and ends up in a historical position that conflicts 
 with our current understanding of entomology in the late  \nVictorian peri
 od\, as a result she is labelled by historians as an 'eccentric'. I argue 
 that we she was more the norm than an 'eccentric' and that we should adjus
 t the boundaries and not her!
