Family historians? Wo
men and the construction of scientific memory, from Mme Lavoisier (1758-183
6) to Lucie Laugier (1822-1900)
Francesca AntonelliFamily history is widely recognized as one of the first domains whe
re women engaged with modern historical writing, often being regarded as th
e “natural” custodians of family memory. But what about the history of scie
nce? This presentation focuses on how women between the eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries shaped the posthumous memory of scientists within their fa
milies, particularly through the curation of scientific and personal archiv
es, the management of instruments and other objects, and biographical writi
ng. Beginning with the well-documented case of Mme Lavoisier (1758-1836), w
ho crafted her husband’s memory in the early nineteenth century, I turn to
the largely overlooked figure of Lucie Laugier (1822-1900), François Arago’
s niece and author of biographical accounts of her uncle (published only in
the 1990s). Both women served as “secretaries” – as they would put it – to
their relatives and managed extensive material and paper collections in ra
dically different political contexts—from post-Revolutionary rehabilitation
to Second Empire hostility. Significantly, both are commemorated in public
monuments—Arago’s in 1879 and Lavoisier’s in 1900—depicted precisely in th
ese roles. I will thus deal with their cases to raise some questions on wom
en’s agency in constructing scientific memory and the complex negotiations
between family and institutional narratives of scientific commemoration.
