This paper examines an episode of the history of chemistry, the campaign for the promotion of so-called “new chemistry,” dating to the second half of the 1780s, to investigate the ways in which women could build their own reputation. I focus on the case of Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier (1758–1836), today known as the wife and scientific associate of the French chemist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794). Drawing on a wide set of published and unpublished sources – laboratory notebooks, travel diaries, letters, and drawings – I will delve deeper into their collaboration, showing how Paulze-Lavoisier appropriated the campaign for the new chemistry to appear as a visible actor in the scientific circles of the time. I will then highlight the multiple self-representations she produced while participating in these events.

本文考察了化学史上的一个插曲，即推广所谓“新化学”的运动，可追溯到 1780 年代后半期，以调查女性建立自己声誉的方式。我专注于 Marie-Anne Paulze-Lavoisier (1758-1836) 的案例，她今天被称为法国化学家 Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794) 的妻子和科学伙伴。利用大量已发表和未发表的资料——实验室笔记本、旅行日记、信件和图纸——我将深入研究他们的合作，展示保尔兹-拉瓦锡如何利用新化学活动作为可见的演员出现在当时的科学界。然后，我将重点介绍她在参加这些活动时所做的多重自我表现。
