3. ASP Resource Guide for Women in Astronomy
From: Hannah Jang-Condell [hannah_at_alum.mit.edu]
Women in Astronomy: An Introductory Resource Guide to Materials in English
by Andrew Fraknoi (Foothill College & Astronomical Society of the Pacific)
"This guide is not meant to be a comprehensive or scholarly
introduction to the complex topic of the role of women in
astronomy, but simply a resource for those educators and students
who wish to explore the challenges and triumphs of women of the
past and present. It's also an opportunity to get to know some of
the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make
significant contributions to our field. To be included among the
representative women for whom we list individual resources, an
astronomer must have had something non-technical about her life
and work published in a popular-level journal or book. This
explains why so many talented women are not covered; their work is
mainly known through journals that students cannot
read. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most
welcome, however."
