Absent Minds uncovers the overlooked contributions of women who helped shape modern psychology but were largely omitted from mainstream histories of the discipline. While names such as Freud, Pavlov, Jung, and Piaget are widely recognized, many pioneering women made equally significant contributions that transformed psychological science, education, social policy, and our understanding of human behavior.
Award-winning psychologist Dr. Madeleine Pownall traces the history of psychology from its origins through major developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, highlighting the achievements of researchers whose work influenced memory, intelligence, child development, mental health, social justice, and gender equality. The book also examines psychology's responses to contemporary issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic and debates surrounding screen time.
Combining historical research with accessible storytelling, Absent Minds argues that recognizing these forgotten pioneers provides a more complete and accurate understanding of psychology's evolution while celebrating the women whose ideas continue to influence research and practice today.
