Neumann's Director of Computing, Tony Patti, has also given generously of his
time and advice to help me produce this book.

Also, I am very grateful to Marilyn Brownstein, George Butler, and Peter
Coveney and Elisabetta Linton, my editors at Greenwood Press, who have
steadfastly supported and assisted this project.

Finally, I wish to thank my significant other, Gene Hillman, all the members
of my family who have encouraged me unflaggingly, and in particular my
daughter who has insisted that she and other equally ardent feminists of her
generation critically want and need this book.

To all of you, I thank you for making this birth possible.
