Book Synopsis American Women of Science Since 1900 [2 Volumes] by : Tiffany K. Wayne

Download or read book American Women of Science Since 1900 [2 Volumes] written by Tiffany K. Wayne and published by ABC-CLIO. This book was released on 2011 with total page 1226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference source boasts some 500 entries of American women scientists whose major contributions occurred after 1900. Although updated and expanded, this two-volume set is largely based on Martha Bailey's two American Women in Science biographical dictionaries (CH, Apr'99, 36-4237; CH, Dec'94, 32-1850). However, Wayne (independent scholar) includes only professional scientists or science educators, thereby excluding women who may have contributed to science in other ways. Preceding the alphabetical entries are two introductory sections. One discusses issues related to women in science, and the other provides a brief introduction to each discipline. Each biographical entry is approximately one page and includes the scientist's education, professional experience, and concurrent positions. One or two suggestions for further reading are listed with most entries, but references are not. To compare this title with other relatively recent works, The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science, edited by M. Ogilvie and J. Harvey (CH, Feb'01, 38-3076) includes only 9 of the 70 women with surnames beginning with "A" or "B" that are in Wayne's set; only 5 of 70 are included in Notable Twentieth-Century Scientists, edited by E. J. McMurray, J. K. Kosek, and R. M. Valade (CH, Mar'95, 32-3652). This set is valuable for its unique content and compilation of biographies based on a specific gender, nationality, and time period. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students. Lower-division Undergraduates; Upper-division Undergraduates; Graduate Students. Reviewed by D. M. Braquet.
