These insightful essays, remarkably free of the jargon endemic
to the social sciences, will enrich academic libraries' psychology
reference collections. "Wilson Library Bulletin"
"Women in Psychology" is unique in that it is the first
bio-bibliographic sourcebook on historical and contemporary women
in psychology. It documents, preserves, and makes visible the
diversity and excellence of women's contributions to the
discipline. Separate chapters evaluate and provide a critical lens
through which to view the contributions of 36 women, to the
evolution of psychology. "Women in Psychology" is an especially
rich bibliographic resource not only through references at the end
of each chapter but through a separate five-part bibliographic
chapter that identifies the most important books and other sources
of information on women in psychology and references to
autobiographical and biographic information on 185 women
contributors.
The book contains an overview chapter describing the rigorous
selection process employed, a chapter on award-winning
contributions of women as recognized by the American Psychological
Association and the American Psychological Foundation, and
appendicies on birth years, place of birth, and major fields. This
volume will be useful to historians of psychology, to scholars of
women's history and the psychology of women, and to all
psychologists and students of psychology. It will also be well
received by public and private libraries.
