This article follows the trail of Katherine Boyle, Lady Ranelagh, sister of Robert Boyle, in the scientifc activity of her time by her writings. We take in to account characteristics traits of the chymistry when the Royal Society was born in London. We try to describe and explain what kind of scientifc activity was done, where the did and why and how were considerate women that perform some scientifc activity in her surroundings. Additionally we present some writings of Lady Ranelagh and we analyze the mediation of scientifc knowledge exercised by her.
