?Extends the editors' earlier examinations of the lives and work of
psychology's frequently ignored foremothers. After a comprehensive
selection process, 36 women whose scholarship has had a significant
impact on psychology and epistemology were selected for inclusion:
14 born between 1847 and 1900; 8 born between 1901 and 1915; and 14
born between 1916 and 1945. In addition to the chapters detailing
the personal and professional careers of each of these
psychologists, O'Connell and Russo provide separate sections:
general bibliographic resources relevant to all women contributors
to psychology, including specific references for 185 individual
women; a summary of American Psychological Association and American
Psychological Foundation awards honoring the contributions of
individual women through 1988; and a chronology of birth years and
places for the 36 primary subjects of the book, with a listing of
the major areas within psychology most significantly influenced by
each of their contributions. The biographies, each written by
different psychologists, are somewhat diverse in style and content,
but all make for interesting reading. More importantly, this book
will serve as a valuable resource for teachers and scholars alike.
