Reviews for The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science: Pioneering Lives From Ancient Times to the Mid-20th Century

Although several good biographical dictionaries of women in science, both general and discipline-specific, have been published recently, The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science far surpasses others in scope. The work is both scholarly and accessible to a broad audience. The content will be of interest to educators, students, historians, scientists, and any individual interested in science or women's studies. The set is highly recommended for all high school, public, and academic libraries. - Feminist Collections, Fall 2001 The work will unquestionably remain an essential, standard reference in American libraries for many years. - Bulletin for the History of Chemistry, Winter 2001 Highly recommended for both academic and public libraries Against the Grain. September 2001 The most comprehensive resource on the subject available, this excellent set is essential for academic and large public libraries. - Library Journal, September 2000 Reclaims center stage as the most comprehensive reference source on women scientists...The well-written articles are aimed at older readers but should be accessible to middle school students...Ogilvie and Harvey's work is a must-have reference tool. - American Reference Books Annual, 2000 Edition
