Bravo Alice! You've captured all that happens to the best and brightest, and in fact, all women. Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? belongs in every college women's center and in women's studies classes.

Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? is a thoughtful and enlightening book. As a woman, an educator, and a parent, I recommend this book be read in college courses, in women's groups, and in families.

As a therapist, pastor and mother, I am excited by Alice Rowe's research and writings about women's achievement. Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? will be a practical and inspiring resource for my clients as well as my own gifted daughters.

After reading your book, I was able to tell my husband that I am a gifted woman and that this book speaks volumes to me and validates some of my thoughts. My husband read the book, too, and said it gave him a new perspective. Your book told me it is okay to not be all things at once, and that by being just one of those doesn't make me any less smart.

Your book spoke so directly to my heart that I'm hard-pressed to express how much....Today I see I have a mission--to let my light shine--and your encouragement comes at yet another perfect moment.
Diana York Blaine, Ph.D., professor, University of Southern California
Alice Rowe is a leader. Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? shows women how to surmount cultural obstacles to self-realization. Alice's counsel empowers every smart woman to achieve goals and fulfill dreams. This will be a valuable resource for our library patrons.

As I turned each page, as I read each chapter, I saw myself reflected there. It was as if you were talking to me personally. The workbook format, with questions at the end of each chapter, caused me to pause and take a look inward, at who I am, how I've adapted, and what motivates me. You have pulled the blinds on years of dark frustaton and changed the way I see myself... Where Have All the Smart Women Gone? should be required reading for women returning to or entering college after a prolonged absence. More importantly, I think it should be recommended to any woman who has been subjected to emotional abuse; any woman who has been told she's not smart enough to keep the family finances or adequately raise her children.
