“A lovely book for the middle school grades. As a woman scientist, I like that it is part of a series on Girls in Science, and it was well written enough that I wish I had the other books in the series!” Read the complete review online.

DIG MAGAZINE
Archaeology: Cool Women Who Dig is part of the Girls in Science series that, in a very engaging way, connects the past to the present. Complementing a brief overview of the theme are biographies, ask/answer boxes, a timeline, a glossary, and resource suggestions. Highly recommended.”
