European Women in Chemistry

“Despite what could have been, European Women in Chemistry offers an informative historical overview giving women reason to be curious about the lives and careers about many remarkable women.”  (Bulletin of the History of Chemistry, 2012) 

"Finally, this book fulfils its intention to be a tribute to these fascinating women, their major contribution to chemistry in the context of their time and social environment. Reading the stories might motivate new generations, not only women, to come to tread new paths, fight for unusual ideas and control their own destiny." (Materials and Corrosion, 2012)

"I found the book fairly readable and would recommend it to those working in chemistry, or indeed other sciences, and also to those who are considering a scientific career." (Chemistry World, 1 August 2011)

"The merit of this book, however, lies in its reporting the struggle and strife of those women who didn't make Nobel-worthy breakthrough discoveries but who managed to carve out a niche in chemistry, especially during the historical times when the discipline was still overwhelmingly populated by males." (Chemistry & Industry, 25 April 2011)

"It is my strong conviction that unbiased reading of this book, besides increasing the reader's historical knowledge of chemistry and science, will also have a profound, hopefully constructive, effect on their opinions on the potential achievements in science that might be obtained by women." (ChemMedChem, 1 April 2011)
