Reviews"No other reference sourcebook to date chronicles women's contributions to chemistry and physics with such interest and depth. Highly recommended for academic reference collections." RQ Summer 1994, "...This valuable resource recounts the contributions of women to science. Biographies of 75 women whose work spans nearly three centuries reflect their struggle to study in a chosen field, gain admission to professional societies, and the lack of funding support. ...Because of the limited resources available on women scientists, this book should be acquired by academic and secondary school libraries; public libraries should consider purchase too." Reference Books Bulletin, "Of interest to general readers and handy for science and women's studies collections. Highly recommended." Choice

SynopsisBiographies of women scientists are few in number. This volume fills that gap in the literature. It includes extensive profiles, arranged alphabetically, of 75 women from different countries who have been influential in the development of chemistry and physics. Subjects were chosen on the basis of their advanced degrees, innovative research, influence in teaching, leadership in the profession, and scholarly publications. Each profile includes a biography, a career discussion, and a bibliography of works by and about the subject. Biographies provide personal information with special attention to influences on the subject's career. The career discussions indicate the significance of the subject's contributions in language accessible to the layperson. The work provides a valuable contribution to both women's studies and the history of chemistry and physics and should serve as an inspiration to young women seeking a career in the physical sciences.
