 | As with most Magill books, excellent appendixes and indexes round out the work... The approach that sets this apart from many others is the way it takes topics such as education, pioneers, psychiatry, religion, and sports, and highlights key figures and events and the impact women have had in these areas... It is balanced, erudite, and informative. This work would be an important addition to any reference collection, especially those with women's studies. |

|

 | This set provides succinct information concerning the multitudinous issues pertinent to American women past and present. [It] succeeds in providing wide-ranging, introductory material on women in a convenient format, is suitable for both undergraduates and general readers, and is highly recommended for reference collections in academic and large public libraries. |
