EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN IN SCIENCE & MEDICINE: FOUR CENTURIES OF ACHIEVEMENT.
Smeltzer, Ronald K., Robert J. Ruben, and Paulette Rose
Includes essays by Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie, and Randi Hutter Epstein.
Published to accompany the landmark exhibition Extraordinary Women in Science & Medicine, on show at the Grolier Club September 18-November 23, 2013, this catalogue explores the legacy of thirty-two remarkable women whose accomplishments in physics, chemistry, astronomy, mathematics, computing, and medicine contributed to the advancement of science. More than 150 original items are pictured and described, including books, manuscripts, periodicals, offprints, dissertations, and laboratory apparatus (such as that used by Marie Curie during her earliest work on radioactivity), providing a remarkable overview of the scientific contributions of this eminent group. Illustrated in color, duotone, and black and white.
