Editorial Reviews

Review

“Libraries with Leavitt's Women in Management: An Annotated Bibliography and Sourcelist will want this selection of biographical articles by her, with contributions from Mary R. Curran and Lynda J. Halbert, about 226 living and deceased, 19th- and 20th-century women `managers and administrators' in business, education, and government. Articles range from less than a page to four pages, with by- and/or-about bibliographies of varying length accoumpanying some. ... Many of the biographees have been selected because they were `firsts'.... Most biographees fall into categories called `founders,' `presidents and vice presidents,' and a large group who occupied or occupy `positions of national prominence.' ... For information about those persons for whom it may otherwise be less accessible ... this work will be useful. Both public and academic libraries.”–Choice
