This volume of Reagents includes material published in late 1990 to early 1993.
This latest volume brings the project up to date, with entries on almost 500 women whose death dates fall between 1976 and 1999. You will find here stars of the golden ages of radio, film, dance, and television; scientists and scholars; civil rights activists and religious leaders; Native American craftspeople and world-renowned artists. For each subject, the volume offers a biographical essay by a distinguished authority that integrates the woman's personal life with her professional achievements set in the context of larger historical developments.
This major reference work is arranged like an encyclopedia, with each entry providing information about a reagent which has been reported as useful in organic synthesis. Most of the reagents are themselves organic, but inorganic reagents are also included. Suppliers are listed for commercially available reagents; otherwise, a brief indication of the method of preparation is given, along with a literature reference. Concise information and literature references are also provided on the application of reagents. There are author and subject indexes, and a very useful index of reagents by type, so that this reference set can serve as a very convenient point of entry into the literature dealing with a general type of reaction, whether it be a "name" reaction (e.g., Baeyer-Villiger oxidation), a method of introducing a specific functional group (e.g., amination), etc.

Though rarely noted, women have been active participants in the chemical sciences since the beginning of recorded history. This thought-provoking book brings to life the many talented women who--besides the universally respected Marie Curie--made significant contributions to chemistry. The Rayner-Canhams examine the forces that have defined women's roles in the progress of chemistry, observing that many were thwarted from capitalizing on their achievements by the prejudices of their time. Their book discusses women chemists from as far past as the Babylonian civilization but focuses on professional women chemists from the mid-19th century, when women gained access to higher education. Read this book and learn about the chemist-assistants of the French salons, about independent researchers in the 19th century, about the three disciplinary havens for women in the 20th century, about how war helped bring women into the chemical industry--and much more!
