"This book is a vital, intimate chronicle of the indomitable women science pioneers who fought to better understand the universe. Shohini Ghose, an accomplished physicist herself, not only brings these women’s stories into the light, she brings them to life." —Chris Hadfield, astronaut and #1 bestselling author

"Her Space, Her Time is a captivating book that honors and highlights a wonderful selection of women who broke boundaries and challenged conventions in science and society." —Donna Strickland, professor of physics, University of Waterloo, and co-recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics

"This carefully researched collection of important scientific contributions by women will inspire a new generation of young women to consider a career in science." —Arthur B. McDonald, Queen’s University Gray Chair Emeritus, 2015 Nobel Physics Laureate

"An engaging and thoroughly researched work that reveals the many vital contributions women scientists made to the space age. Even serious students of this history are sure to be surprised by the missing pieces Ghose reveals." —Kathryn D. Sullivan, scientist, astronaut, explorer

"Her Space, Her Time certainly fulfills its subtitle. The seven chapters are highly informative, each one having dramatic moments and discoveries. Ghose skillfully weaves together accessible descriptions of astrophysical concepts with the personal lives of the women scientists. I recommend this book as required reading for anyone teaching astronomy and astrophysics, as well as those with an amateur interest. . . . From the first chapter, Ghose shows women making amazing scientific discoveries while working within a society set up to exclude them. . . . By writing this book, Ghose is doing the work of rectifying some of these past wrongs." —American Scientist
 
"A disdain for misogyny past and present shines through in Shohini Ghose's rich history of women's underappreciated contributions to astronomy and physics . . . Her Space, Her Time [has] made an important contribution to this chain of histories, one that will no doubt lead to a clearer view of the science that lit up our universe." —New Scientist

"Her Space, Her Time will likely draw comparisons to other biographies of women scientists and mathematicians like Hidden Figures . . . and The Glass Universe . . . But Ghose’s book, with its unique structure and writing style, earns its own space (pun intended) in the genre. . . . Her Space, Her Time provides a digestible, informative starting point for making [women] scientists visible." —Symmetry Magazine

"This book is truly for everyone, and I can't overstate how much I enjoyed it." —BBC Sky at Night Magazine

"Engaging. . . . Ghose explains complex concepts with clarity, understandable for the non-scientist, and the book is a passionate look at the women who’ve pushed our understanding forward in [science] . . . making a strong case for women’s place in science now." —Boston Globe
 
“Unlike many scientists, Ghose is a smooth and polished prose stylist who knows how to reach lay readers.” —Vancouver Sun
