A Biographical Dictionary of Women Economists

Women economists rarely feature in textbooks on the history of economic thought before 1960, despite the many articles and theses produced by them in the period. This book, asking why, and seeking to find those who supported women economists, looks at the lives and thought of the women who contributed to the building of the economics profession. A number of the papers focus on the sociology of the the economics discipline, including the failure to cite women economists. The volume also includes the personal memoir of the experience of one female graduate studying in the 1930s.

Feminist Essays on the History of Women in Economics

Women of Value

Robert W. Dimand

This major original reference work includes over one hundred specially commissioned articles on the lives and writings of women who made significant contributions to economics. It sheds new light on the rich, but too often neglected, heritage of women's analysis of economic issues and participation in the discipline of economics. In addition to those who wrote in English, some notable Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Russian and Swedish women economists are included. This book will transform widely-held views about the past role of women in economics, and will stimulate further research in this exciting but underdeveloped field. It is dedicated to the memory of Michèle Pujol, a pioneer in the field.
