Excerpt: 

This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can.

Annotation: 

This text only, one-page site lists about 20 women in the history of chemistry, as well as present female luminaries in the subject. Most of the entries have several links to other Web sites describing their biographies and work. At the top of the page are a few recommended books on the subject. There are no images or biographical material on this site, just links to other, more developed sites.
