"The present volume, Eminent Women Educationists, provides very interesting, informative and inspiring biographical sketches of 109 most talented female researchers, teachers and scholars of eminence who by virtue of possessing academic qualities are remembered and admired by the people. They mostly belonged to the European countries and America. As academicians they earned name and fame in a male dominated social system in the educational sphere. Most of them had taught in colleges and universities, obtained their doctorates, membership of national level academic societies and won awards and honors.
During nineteenth and twentieth century women academician and scholars no doubt excelled as teachers, researchers, and activists in several academic fields due to equal opportunities. In fact, in Europe and America better facilities for modern education started much earlier compared to the third world countries.
This publication will be useful for the readers interested to know the achievement and contributions of women educationists." (jacket)
