About History of Colorado's Women for Young People The remarkable accomplishments of women in the founding and development of our state have been too long overlooked and too little appreciated. Vivian Sheldon Epstein makes a significant contribution to our appreciation of these outstanding Coloradans, who so clearly demonstrated that society can ill afford to ignore or artificially limit the brain power, talent, and energy of half its citizens.

About History of Women Artists for Children I am greatly impressed with your efforts and achievements in creating and publishing books about women’s accomplishments for children! You are to be highly commended! You have my deepest gratitude. You have made my job a lot easier.

Thanks to you, now they have a wonderful resource to use in teaching their students about women’s achievements.
Thanks again for writing HISTORY OF WOMEN ARTISTS FOR CHILDREN. My daughter, Zia, was entranced with it. It was so nice to see that look of pride and determination return to her face after her dismayed query of a few nights before "How come they never show any art by women? Aren’t there any women artists?"
...As a Black woman, I was touched to see Black artists included in your book, HISTORY OF WOMEN ARTISTS FOR CHILDREN. It is heartwarming to know that you are aware of the contributions made by Black women and value presenting artists of all races.

About The ABCs of What a Girl Can Be Thank you for writing and publishing such a delightful book which offers a refreshing change from what can be found in the average bookstore. The content is excellent. I am especially please to see the beekeeper, as I am a professional apiculturist.
...Katie had told her babysitter’s five year old daughter that girls couldn’t be basketball players--whereupon that family took their daughter to a girl’s basketball game at Fort Hays State University. ...Upon being given the book, Katie told her Dad, "let’s turn to 'P' and then ‘See, Johnny,’" (to her eleven year old brother), "girls CAN be president!" He had told her that women never could be. Thus were two myths dispelled!
About History of Women in Science for Young People ...For each scientist the author presents a short biography accompanied by a charming portrait. The biographies include personal stores of courage and are written carefully so as not to deter students with a limited science background. The author has chosen historical figures and active scientists from a variety of ethnic and racial groups. ...With the extensive bibliography, ...this serves as an excellent resource. I recommend buying several of these reasonably priced books.
...This book describes the brilliant women who were able to overcome the barriers of their time and become accomplished individuals in science, mathematics, or medicine....the contribution that each woman made is sensitively and powerfully conveyed. ...Each and every individual that is portrayed has the potential to serve as an inspiration and role model for today’s youth.
Through the thorough research and thoughtful attention to detail, Vivian Sheldon Epstein has compiled an inspirational picture of the role of women in science throughout history. As an attorney and a scientist, I welcome the emergence of such positive and dynamic models for today's young women.
These biographical vignettes provide inspiration and information regarding female scientists, mathematicians, and doctors. Students in search of female role models in the field of the sciences will be well served by this collective biography.
This book will be an outstanding resource for schools to show examples of role models for women in science.

HISTORY OF WOMEN FOR CHILDREN and THE ABCs OF WHAT A GIRL CAN BE ..had a tremendous impact on my heretofore nonverbal daughter, who had wanted to be a wife and now would like to be president so she can fix things. Your books had a simple and extremely effective way of opening her eyes to the prejudicial influences which she has been under and that ..me..her mother, the child psychologist, was having no luck in conveying,. I thank you very much.
