This useful book full of color graphics and charts, may be useable with upper level learners and in GED math courses. Subjects: Women's Issues Penguin Books (www.penguinputnam.com), 2003, 0-14-200241-0, Paperback, 128 pgs, 7 x 9 1/4, $20.00. Also, we don't have it on the website yet - but will: The Women's Hall of Fame Series, published by a feminist press in Canada -(Second Story Press), has a title "Super Women in Science." It includes 10 women through time and from around the world. The series also includes "Spectacular Women in Space" as well as Physicians, Athletes, and Women Leaders. It's an expanding series so I'm sure there will be more. The series is for young adults but is very adult friendly.
