If all the ladies should know about spectroscopes and cathode rays, who will attend to the buttons and breakfasts? Asked of Wellesley astronomy professor Sarah Whiting by a male colleague in the 1880's. I agreed to read this manuscript as a favour. It was another chore in a week already overburdened by professional and personal duties. But I was riveted - by the stories, the emotions, the glimpses into women's lives. Women like me and unlike me, with stories I identified with, and those I didn't. I read it in one afternoon, like fiction. I find that I know each of these women, most of whom I've never met. And hell, I'm proud of them. - Jo-Anne Richards
