Abstract:
The place allotted in 19th century to natural science among the various scientific disciplines depended greatly on the level of teaching. For a long time natural science was combined with physical science on the program of the Agregation examination, occupying a modest place in secondary education, where mathematics predominated. It should be empahsized, however, that natural science represented a preferential area of investigation of early female doctoral theses.
