"I am thrilled to learn of so many of the remarkable women who contributed to innumerable aspects of [this] great enterprise. This book enables us to meet each other, to swap stories. The authors have done a superb job of detective work, tracking down an impressive number of them, more than 300. It is important to record and credit women's contributions to the social and technological history of the making of the bomb."
—Ellen C. Weaver, Ph.D., Past President, Association for Women in Science
"Quite interesting in what it reveals, both particularly about the chauvinism of the project’s male management and the naivete of professional and support staff regarding the harmful effects of nuclear materials. Recommended for academic history of science collections."
—Library Journal
"Authors Howes and Herzenberg have done a remarkable job in synthesizing archived information on the women of the Manhattan Project and in bringing these women to life on the pages of their book."
—AWIS Magazine
"Painstakingly researched...this [book] provides a valuable beginning to the study of a previously neglected topic and contributes to our knowledge of the history of women in science."
