"...timely reminder of how little things have changed since the 19th century and how much women of science can accomplish." --Wall Street Journal "Anyone who enjoys the history of science, especially from the underrepresented feminist perspective, should appreciate this well-crafted narrative. Recommended." --Library Journal "Here is a skillfully written tapestry of the science, history and portrayal of two of the most charismatic women of mathematical science.
