Description
This reference profiles the careers of more than sixty women educators who made significant contributions to American education in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Multicultural in nature, the book includes African-American, Native-American, Asian-American, and Hispanic women. The profiles are arranged alphabetically, and each begins with a brief paragraph summarizing the subject's importance. The entries provide information about the subject's family background, her education, people and events that influenced her, her goals, her achievements, and the impact of gender on her life and career. Each contributor locates his or her subject within the appropriate social and political context, thus providing an historical background for the educator. Each entry concludes with a bibliography of works by and about the subject, and the volume closes with a chronological listing of the women and a selected bibliography.

-This reference source is highly recommended for academic library reference collections. Secondary school media centers may want to consider purchase, too. —Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin
-The profiles, illustrating the different lives and accomplishments of American women educators, make this reference tool unique. I recommend Women Educators in the United States for college and university libraries, particularly those libraries with strong collections on the history of education and the history of American women. Its specialty provides new insights for both fields. — Feminist Collections
