Reviews and Awards
"Hargittai does an excellent job of presenting both the women's dedication and talents and their shortcomings. This book will be an inspiration for budding scientists. Recommended."--CHOICE
"The stories are upbeat and original...This book will be of interest to both upcoming and established women in science, their children and families, as well as historians."--MRS Bulletin
"The book fulfils the author's wish to show women scientists as they are and encourage others to follow and should prove valuable to all those interested in how women are progressing in fields formerly, and still often, deemed as 'masculine'."--Gender and History
"Altogether, the material is cleverly organised; celebrated scientists are presented alongside lesser-known researchers. Even regarding the most well-known women scientists, the author has managed to unearth enlightening new sources."--Isis
