Women’s Press of Toronto, Canada has just released a very important book under its series Women Who Rock. Written by Prof. Mary Louise Engels, it tells the life story of Dr. Rosalie Bertell, who in her persistent and sure way has rocked the male dominated world of nuclear physics, war armaments, and mass contamination of our planet. Dr. Engels has combined the fascinating story of Dr. Bertell’s life as a brilliant researcher in the field of mathematics and nuclear science and as a member of the Gray Nuns of Sacred Heart. Prof. Engels has explained, in easy to understand terms, the world of nuclear power and nuclear weapons, and provided kindly attention to Dr. Bertell’s transformation from a sickly child, to advocate for the poor and those harmed by nuclear power and toxic chemicals, to recipient of the “Alternative Nobel” Right Livelihood Award. I was so impressed by the book, that I contacted Women’s Press and ordered ten copies.

This book is a must for peace advocates, those working in the antinuclear and pro-environment fields, as well as for teenagers who need to know that one does not need a lot of money and a big organization to make a difference in this world. This book can be especially helpful to those who are discouraged and feel that the state of the world cannot be changed.

Rosalie Bertell, Ph. D., G. N. S. H, by force of her moral convictions, hard work, and very bright mind has changed the world for the better. She is a true International Treasure. Prof. Engels has done justice to the science and to Dr. Bertell’s life, by writing this very timely and delightful book.
