Models of Achievement

Providing role models of excellence for contemporary women and men and contributing to the understanding of the educational and career development of high achieving women, these autobiographical essays of seventeen women and their achievements generate a deeper appreciation of the vital role of women in the development of contemporary psychology.

"... an eloquent testimonial to the seventeen autobiographers themselves. The autobiographies are enhanced by the insights of O'Connell's penetrating analyses and synthesis of personal and professional commonalities and differences in these women's lives and experiences. The women's eminence is made more evident by Russo's informative discussion of the societal context and its relationship to development of the field and women's contributions to it...an energizing source of pride and inspiration to all readers."—from the Foreword by Virginia Staudt Sextonco-editor of The History and Philosophy of Science: Selected Papers
