Summary: Fantastic. A "must read" for any aspiring mathematician.
Review: This book examines the lives of women mathematicians from antiquity to the present. Osen describes the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of some of history's most fascinating people with a perspective no male could bring to the subject. I'd love to discuss the matter with the author.

Summary: Profiles women mathemeticians, lives and contributions
Review: Traces the lives of notable women whose work inmathematics is best appreciated through an understanding of the societies that shaped their lives. Traces the impact of their work; reinforces women's participation in enduring intellectual achievements and discounts the popular notion that we value mathematical ignorance as a social grace. Explains the power full satisfactions and aesthetic values which equal any other branch of knowledge.
