**SCOPE**
 This is a guide to sources relating to the history and contributions of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM).  Also included are resources on present-day women scientists, as well as materials on the current status and concerns of women in the sciences.  Related titles are Science Tracer Bullet*Career Opportunities in Science and Technology* (TB 05-4), Science Reference Guide *Girls & Science Education: How to Engage Girls in Science*, and the bibliographies and guides listed in *Science Subject Guide Biography, History of Science*.  An update of Tracer Bullet 90-6, this compilation is not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography but is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
