Early Psychological Research Contributions from Women of Color, Volume 2 provides an amazing spotlight on the trailblazing accomplishments of some of the first women of color to become psychologists in this country. The editors have brought together impressive scholars to summarize and highlight the dissertations of awe-inspiring researchers in this splendid book. It is the second of a compilation of research that encompasses a diversity of topics related to culture, race, gender, achievement, equity, social justice, and many other compelling topics of interest by some of our most powerful, beloved pioneers in psychology. I strongly recommend this highly valuable contribution".Melba Vasquez, PhD, ABPP, Independent Practice, Austin, TX, Former President, American Psychological Association
