Review
"Women of Science presents ample evidence of the important scientific contributions made by women. Yet this book is more than a reference - it is delightful and inspiring reading." Association for Women in Science Magazine " ... destined to become a standard reference in its field ..." Isis " ... fascinating ... an illuminating collection of biographies of many remarkable women." Journal of American Medical Women's Association " ... an important book ..." Caut Bulletin ACPU " ... an illuminating and revisionist history of science ..." Boston Phoenix
Product Description
The women whose work is celebrated here were not aware of or chose to ignore stereotypes that portrayed women as constitutionally or intellectually unsuitable for careers in the sciences. The contributors to this collection are scientists who felt the necessity of righting the record - discovering and recovering the contributions women have made to the development of their fields.
