Notable American Women, 1607–1950

Notable American Women, 1607–1950: A Biographical Dictionary is a three-volume biographical dictionary published in 1971. Its origins lay in 1957 when Radcliffe College librarians, archivists, and professors began researching the need for a version of the Dictionary of American Biography dedicated solely to women.^[1]: xi

Significance[]

Notable American Women was the first major modern reference book of women's biographies, although the genre was common in earlier eras, such as the 1804 A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women Of Every Age and Country by Matilda Betham.^[1] It appeared when Women's studies in U.S. universities had created great interest in understanding women's past.^[2] Upon its publication it was viewed by scholars as a magnificent contribution to understanding the role of women in U.S. history.^[3]

Writing of the changes in perspective on biography inspired by Notable American Women, 1607–1950 Susan Ware observed, "1,359 entries showed the range and depth of women’s contributions to American life, a pointed correction to women’s near-total exclusion from existing biographical dictionaries at the time and a dramatic spur to further research."^[4]

Updates[]

Notable American Women: The Modern Period : a Biographical Dictionary updated the set for subjects who died between 1951 and 1976. The work for that volume was a joint project of Radcliffe College and Harvard University Press funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.^[2]

In 2004 volume 5 was issued: Notable American Women : a Biographical Dictionary Completing the Twentieth Century.^[5]
