The authors of this monograph are well established historians of science. I had the privilege of reviewing more than half a dozen books of Rajinder Singh. In the preface, authors write: ‘The idea of writing a book on Purnima Sinha came to our mind soon after writing the book A Jewel Unearthed: Bibha Chowdhuri – The Story of an Indian Woman Scientist. Purnima Sinha was the first woman who did her Ph D in Physics from Calcutta University under the supervision of Satyendra Nath Bose’. The prime movers for motivating the authors of this book are Sukanya Sinha and Supurna Sinha, daughters of Purnima Sinha.
