Untold Lives: The First Generation of American Women Psychologists

Elizabeth Scarborough

"It is a measure of the significance of Untold Lives that their superb scholarship not only enables the reader to appreciate the accomplishments of such remarkable women, but also offers a tantalizing glimpse into some issues of central importance in understanding the current status of scientific psychology." — Mary B Parlee, City University of New York

"Untold Lives goes a long way toward redressing that neglect, and in doing so reveals how being female made a difference to a psychologist’s career... As Untold Lives makes clear, women remained outsiders in the study of the human mind." — Rosalind Rosenberg, Barnard College

"Its utilization of rich archival resources, the meticulous reconstruction of the decisions and reflections of these pioneer women scientists, and the inviting narration of the historical context make Untold Lives a valuable text for one’s personal library and a necessary addition to undergraduate and graduate libraries." — J.G. Morawski, Wesleyan College
