Dictionary of women worldwide : 25,000 women through the ages

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.
