Most of the essays felt similar in tone despite the wide range of authors. The academic nature of the book means it isn't a casual read but it's accessible enough for non-scientists who want to gain insight in the history of women and science." -- Chemistry World. "Organized within its solid introduction and followed by 38 biographical chapters, this thoroughly documented book for the first time offers a broad account of the chemical elements from the perspective of gender history. The scholarly yet eminently readable volume uncovers the works of women scientists who for the most part are absent in standard histories of the chemical elements. While some of them were active researchers, others worked more modestly as assistants, instrument operators, chemical authors or popularisers." -- Helge Kragh, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen Chemistry World. "The 38 stories of women's engagement with elements gathered by Annette Lykknes and Brigitte Van Tiggelen do not replace heroes with heroines. They rather emphasize the human aspects of scientific endeavours and the obscure figures, males and females, who collectively contribute to the advancement of science. As a result, the periodic system usually known as 'Mendeleev's table' appears as a communal enterprise." -- Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Université de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Chemistry World. "The Editors of the book have succeeded in engaging a large group of first-rank authors, all experts in their specific fields. The book stands out by presenting a very broad, truly international overview of the role of women in the development of chemistry, and in particular on their roles in the discovery and mastery of chemical elements. This book is both an important publication for professional historians of science and an attractive read for a much larger historically interested audience. It is a convincing tribute to the important roles played by the numerous women discussed in the book, which shows that future histories of chemistry must be considered incomplete if a discussion of those roles is left out." -- Ernst Homburg, Maastricht University Chemistry World. "The editors are to be congratulated on finding 40 erudite authors to have made this possible and so produced a book which I can thoroughly recommend." -- Chemistry and Industry Chemistry World. "This volume is a rewarding exposition of the role of women in the development of chemistry, worthy of being read over and over again. Each reading reveals new riches and insights. One comes to understand that not only were women denied access to science for the reasons elaborated upon in the preface of this book, but in many other ways that were both systematic and the fruit of personal animosity, fear, and the simple opinion that women did 'not count' — factors that come to light in many of the chapters in this volume. One very fine feature of the volume is that each chapter contains a rich set of endnotes and bibliography for further research. It is also completely indexed with a General Index, a Name Index, and an Element Index, and contains an appendix of authors' biographies." -- Bulletin for the History of Chemistry Chemistry World. "The book could be used in many ways for those studying women in chemistry, scientific innovation, the history of discovery of elements, as well as larger themes of radioactivity, social activism and the history of science. Women in their Element brings together 38 stories over four centuries that put women at the center of the long story of discovery that takes the world from 'fire, air, earth and water' to the Periodic Table of Elements in all of its complexity." -- Chemistry International Chemistry World. "The book is undeniably a work of scholarship with detailed research, substantial references and footnotes, and academics' characteristic dry and detached style. Most of the essays felt similar in tone despite the wide range of authors. The academic nature of the book means it isn't a casual read but it's accessible enough for non-scientists who want to gain insight in the history of women and science." -- Chemistry World _24e de couverture
