Richardson's book initiated deep and reflective dialogue on the nature of qualitative writing, particularly from the voices of scientist, researcher, feminist, and representative of the academic world to the general public.

Her work is strongly recommended as required reading for every graduate student engaged in qualitative work, as well as experienced researchers and those entrenched within quantitative methodology.

For students struggling to understand what it means to do qualitative research, Laurel Richardson's book on Writing Strategies is an excellent resource. The book is very helpful in differentiating conventional forms of scientific writing from the more interpretive forms of writing that are typical of qualitative research. The book is very readable. Richardson makes complex ideas accessible.
