The book is aimed at a young audience, [5] with many images and few mathematical details. [3] [5] Nevertheless, each biography is accompanied by a general-audience introduction to the subject's mathematical work, [4] and beyond images of the women profiled, the book includes many mathematical illustrations and historical images that bring to life these contributions.
Her fellow student Grace Chisholm also earned a First Class degree in the same Mathematical Tripos examinations. Isabel Maddison, c. 1900 On completing her studies at Cambridge, Maddison was awarded a scholarship which enabled her to spend the year 1892–93 at Bryn Mawr College in the US.

Mathematical psychology is an approach to psychological research that is based on mathematical modeling of perceptual, thought, cognitive and motor processes, and on the establishment of law-like rules that relate quantifiable stimulus characteristics with quantifiable behavior (in practice often constituted by task performance).

Reviewer Herbert Meschkowski suggests that Grace Chisholm Young should have been mentioned. And reviewers Margaret Hayman and Edith Robinson both complain about the book's focus on its subjects' victimization by society, rather than either their personal lives and personalities or their mathematical accomplishments.
