"Women in Jazz" by Sammy Stein makes the Jazz Times Recommendation List

...Sammy Stein’s new book Women in Jazz: The Women, the Legends & Their Fight uses a wide-angle lens to look at how women in a range of different roles have made a life in—and helped shape—jazz. Instead of only focusing on well-known performers, Stein interviewed agents, arrangers, composers, public relations professionals, media members, and more. Her subjects bridge generations (and international boundaries) in an effort to honor the past, assess the present, and point to the future.

Nick Lea of Jazz Views reviews "Women in Jazz"

"In her own inimitable way, Sammy Stein has given us a work that will be read, poured over and discussed for quite some time. A document of how society today perceives music and the women that choose to pursue a career in the industry in all its many guises, and therefore quite rightly asks as many questions as it answers."
