Women
in the Sciences
Tracer Bullet 90-6 |
|
This is a guide to sources relating to the history and contributions
of women in the fields of science, medicine, and engineering.
Also included are writings on present-day women scientists, as
well as materials on the current status and concerns of women
in the sciences. Of possible interest to users of this work are
Blacks in Science and Related Disciplines (TB 89-9) and
Biographical Sources in the Sciences (TB 88-3).
An update of Tracer Bullet 83-8, this compilation is
not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography but is designed--as
the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
