"Editors and contributors successfully walk a fine line between discussing individual accomplishments of these women and pointing out some of the obstacles that stood in the way of females attempting to navigate their way through a discipline dominated largely by males. . . . Highly recommended for any archaeologist interested in the history of the discipline."--Choice

"A readable book that provides a lot of interesting material on the history of Southeastern archaeology. It convinced me that even though some women were treated in ways which today would be regarded as highly exploitative or discriminatory, many of their experiences were similar to those of male archaeologists and that women have made equally important contributions to Southeastern archaeology." -Journal of Alabama Archaeology
