A sophisticated, scholarly, and readable study- this is without a doubt the best book yet written on American women mathematicians. It is a 'mustread' for women (and men) of the mathematical community, as well as forspecialists in history of science, sociology of the professions, andwomen's studies." -- Ann Hibner Koblitz, Women's Studies Program, Arizona State University This book is not only an insightful and useful study of women in mathematics -- it is a page-turner. As thirty-six women mathematicians come alive in these pages Margaret A. M. Murray destroys the myth of the cloistered mathematical life and implicitly challenges us to find a new mythology that works for the next century. I couldn't put it down. -- Howard Georgi, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics, Harvard University, and Former Co-chair, Committee on Women in Science and Engineering, National Research Council
Margaret A. M. Murray is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. She is coauthor of Clifford Algebras and Dirac Operators in Harmonic Analysis.
"Blending statistics with historical narrative, Murray adds an enlightening work to the field of women's studies." -Publishers Weekly
