Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an essential work for anyone interested in the multicultural, historical role of women in America."--American Reference Books Annual 1992

"This is a very useful book....Not only does the book provide much welcome information; it also introduces its user to a broader spectrum of writers, women writers, American writers, and African-American writers and to authors new to the user....Its influence will be good and immediate, and will continue for a long time. It is recommended for the general reader, students, and the beginning scholar, and the experienced scholar. It is a book worth celebrating, and we are indebted to its compilers."--Legacy
