Gamble (1841-1920) was an American intellectual active in the 19th and early 20th centuries. She was an advocate of the Women's Movement, a mother, a writer and a teacher, born in Concord, Michigan. Her writings pioneered the use of evolutionary theory as a resource for making claims about women, engaging with Darwin's theory of sexual selection and paying significant attention to the importance of gender in evolution. Over the course of her career she wrote three books: The Evolution of Woman (1894), The God-Idea of the Ancients (1897), and The Sexes in Science and History (1916). The latter, which is subtitled An Inquiry into the Dogma of Woman's Inferiority to Man, is a revised edition, with much added evidence, of The Evolution of Woman. In these works Gamble sought to challenge male patriarchy using arguments grounded in religion, science and history.
