Editorial Reviews
Book News, Inc.
Using interviews, written records, and photographs of the women involved, Howes (physics and astronomy, Ball State U.) and Herzenberg (physicist, Argonne National Laboratory) present the untold story of the female physicists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, and lab technicians who participated in all aspects of the Manhattan Project. They discuss the various scientific problems, the discrimination the women faced in their work, their abrupt recruitment for the war effort, anecdotes of everyday life in the clandestine improvised communities, what happened to these individuals after the war, and their present attitudes toward the work they did on the bomb. -- Copyright © 2000 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved

Dr. Edward Teller, Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution
"Of the many women who contributed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I remember with pleasure most of the physicists who I knew quite well. It is nice to read about Los Alamos as a success story."
