@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).
