@merrimacga: On the subject of "women and alchemy" it should be added that Barbara of Cilli (Celje) was intensively engaged in alchemy. Her experiments are recorded in the notes of the Czech alchemist Johann von Laaz, who visited her in the castle above Samobor. In the basement she had a laboratory.
The notes are published in Laaz's work "Via universalis" and in the introduction to the seventh edition of Basil Valentine's Chymical Writings (1717). -

Barbara was also interested in sectarian art, which was also called alchemy, since she was accused of being heretic, not believing in heaven or hell. This reflects the humanistic gnostic thinking that the heaven and hell are the states of mind. This also reflects the thinking of Carthusian monk who was prior at the monasteries supported by Barbara's brother Count Frederic. -
