The most comprehensive women's biographical dictionary on the market. Unlike other women-focused dictionaries, most of which focus on a small number of famous women, this two-volume dictionary contains more than 20,000 brief biographical entries. Created by the same editorial team that produced the Dartmouth Award-winning "Women in World History", this ambitious work will profile women throughout time and throughout the world. The concise, fact-filled entries will provide instant access to a particular woman's personal background and significance in history.
