The 1910-1911 Encyclopedia Britannica was advertised as the high water mark of human knowledge. That 34 of the 1,500 contributors were women was widely perceived as signaling a significant breakthrough into the world of learning. The book examines public and private aspects of the women contributors' lives and includes short biographies. ...delightful...a marvelous encapsulation of a turning point in society and scholarship. Well-written and engaging from start to finish, this work would be a fine addition to already strong women's studies collections. --CHOICE
