Reviews

"...the strength of this book is in bringing these women together so you don't need to consult a half-dozen references. Recommended for academic and public libraries." - Library Journal "An accurate, well-written, and useful resource." - School Library Journal "It is hard to think of a library that would not welcome this resource. Highly Recommended." - The Book Report "The biographical dictionary is full of interesting stories of women who have persevered under often-difficult circumstances to rise to the top of their fields ... American Women in Science is a valuable addition to public, high school, and college libraries." - E-Streams
