Gender and American Social Science: The Formative Years. Ed. by Helene Silverberg. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1998. x, 334 pp. Cloth, $55.00, isbn 0-691-01749-2. Paper, $18.95, isbn 0-691-04820-7.)

Helene Silverberg has collected ten essays tracing the history of gender issues in the social sciences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Included are essays focusing on the disciplines of economics, home economics, political science, anthropology, sociology and social work, and what has since become public policy studies. Three essays treat the careers of Jane Addams (by Dorothy Ross), Elsie Clews Parsons (by Desley Deacon), and Mary van Kleeck (by Guy Alchon) as exemplars of the personal and professional dilemmas of women social scientists. . . .
