"Excellent book. Some reviews on Amazon suggested that this book was too dense for pleasure reading, but I haven't found it to be so. The treatment of the science is deliberately simplified for non-scientists, but this is done well and the topics are fairly diverse. The book is presented so that each chapter discusses a different woman. There is some overlap between chapters for Marie Curie and her daughter Irene, but this is expected; however, this does make it one of the weakest chapters. I commend the author for remaining cognizant of the fact that many of these women did not embark on their careers to make a feminist statement, but instead were people who were passionate about the subject that they studied. Thus, feminist rhetoric takes a backseat to the scientific work and personal struggles that these women faced. Great book."
