Hi, Peter     1/29/2006

You should also check out: National Library of Medicine/American 
Library Association traveling exhibit, Changing the Face of Medicine: 
Celebrating American's Women Physicians. It will be showing at the 
New Brunswick Public Library, NJ this summer, along with A State of 
Health: New Jersey's Medical Heritage (which is another possibility 
for you to consider).MOnica Eppinger at the library can tell you 
about the many activities they are planning. 

For books on women in science,  take a look at Uneasy Careers and 
Intimate Lives: Women in Science 1789-1979 by Abir-Am, Pnina G.; 
Outram, Dorinda (Rutgers UP),  Creative Couples in the Sciences ,  by 
Pycior, Helena M (Editor), and Abir-Am, Pnina G (Editor), and Slack, 
Nancy G (Editor) (also Rutgers UP) , and, of course, the pioneering 
books by  Margaret W. Rossiter. The History of Science Society's list 
of winners of the "Margaret W. Rossiter History of Women in Science 
Prize" is a  handy guide to some of the best recent work 
http://www.hssonline.org/society/awards/women.html

  I'd be interested in hearing more about the plans for the new 
science center --think about the Linnaeus & America exhibition as 
well (see my posting today to the list). Good luck to you!
