Recenzii

'Kylie, Nigella Lawson and J K Rowling are in. So are Tracey Emin and Paula Radcliffe. Yoko Ono and Meryl Streep, after years of neglect, are also included for the first time.The high-achieving women are all new additions to the fourth Dictionary of Women's Biography, which collates the lives of more than 2,000 females whose influence in politics, music, media, society, government and the media has been immense.' - Sally Pook, The Saturday Telegraph
'Any serious attempt to list women of achievement both living and dead is a cause for celebration.' - Janet Street Porter, Independent on Sunday
'The latest update of the authoritative Dictionary of Women's Biography gives an intriguing glimpse into how female high achievers have fought for recognition in a man's world over the past five years.' - Paul Majendie, Reuters Entertainment News
'...a whole book of heroines...' - Diary, The Guardian
'Idiosyncratic and highly readable, the new edition of this chunky paperback brings together more than 2000 women of influence from politics, the arts, science, religion and adventure...often, its the lesser-known characters whose lives are most compelling - women like Eileen Wani Wingfield and Eileen Kampakuta Brown, septuagenarians who campaign against nuclear dumping in Australia.' - Mail on Sunday
