There are many women omitted from this work who do not deserve oblivion. Seldom does a day pass when I do not find a person who might have been included in the dictionary. I have established a data base file entitled "New Women," where I keep information for an update of the original work. In many ways, I view this project as one of "filling in the blanks." I have filled in many. As research people in the field are now discovering, many hitherto unknown women have made significant contributions to science. As more primary source material is unearthed, new candidates for the dictionary will continue to appear.
I hope this work will be, as Rossiter indicated, "an indispensable reference tool," and one that will gradually become more fleshed out with additional information.
