Winner of the 2006 Book Award, Mathematics/Computer Science category, Alpha Sigma Nu, and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities A definitive work, very carefully written, Complexities will inspire a wide range of women mathematicians and scientists for a long period of time... By far this is the most important study of women in mathematics that even a giant amongst men mathematicians will find himself reading with sheer pleasure. --Current Engineering Practice [T]he variation in [the book's] content and writing styles ... is exactly its strength--it is both an excellent reference for a professor wishing to provide a student with a few inspiring gems and a comprehensive overall picture of the life of women in mathematics. Its lessons are gleaned from the trials and tribulations of a specific group, but the advice is universal. --Lisa DeKeukelaere, MAA Online The collection documents the complex nature of the conditions women have faced while pursuing their careers in mathematics. It shows the pleasure women had in discovering new mathematics, and energy to do a good job! --Silke Gobel, Zentralblatt As a female mathematics student, I found that reading this book increased my appreciation for the courage and determination of the women who entered mathematics before me, while also building my personal confidence in the prospect of finding a rewarding and fulfilling life in the mathematical community. --Gwen Spencer, Math Horizons
