Gale and Yorkin Publications broke new ground with the publication of the Dartmouth Medal-winning set, Women in World History. Now, with the release of Dictionary of Women Worldwide, Gale is again teaming with Yorkin Publications to offer something similarly extraordinary. Unlike other women-focused dictionaries, most of which focus on a small number of famous women, this two-volume dictionary contains 25,000 brief biographical entries. In addition, Dictionary of Women Worldwide provides thousands of entries on non-U.S. figures, another unique characteristic. Includes an occupation index, ethnicity/nationality index and a chronological index.

...this dictionary will be a very valuable addition for both academic and large public libraries.  Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty/researchers; general readers.  --Choice, September 2007

The editors of the Dictionary of Women Worldwide (DWW) felt it was necessary to publish a resource that serves as a ready-reference tool devoted solely to women since most of the biographical dictionaries that are available tend to give more text space to males --sometimes as much as 95 percent more...the Dictionary serves as a valuable resource for academic and public libraries, especially for those that cannot afford the more expensive and older Women in World History, Volumes 1-3: A Biographical Encyclopedia that the editors have also published.

...serves as a valuable resource for academic and public libraries.  --ARBA, 2008
