Young women needing role models may find comfort in these brief accounts of
97 women from 鈥渁ntiquity to the present鈥. But don鈥檛 expect comprehensive
coverage from Notable Women in the Life Sciences (Greenwood Press, Connecticut,
edited by Benjamin and Barbara Shearer, distributed by Eurospan in Britain,
拢39.95/$49.95, ISBN 0 313 29302 3). Aspasia, an ancient green
physician who may have been a man, wins an entry, but there鈥檚 no mention of
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, Jane Goodall, Anne McLaran, Ursula Mittwoch or scores
of other British luminaries.
