This book offers a historical exploration of the genesis of feminist economics and gender economics, as well as their theoretical and methodological differences. Its narrative also serves to embed both within a broader cultural context.
Although both feminist economics and gender neoclassical economics belong to the cultural process related to the central role of the political economy in promoting women’s emancipation and empowerment, they differ in many aspects. Feminist economics, mainly influenced by women’s studies and feminism, rejected neoclassical economics, while gender neoclassical economics, mainly influenced by home economics and the new home economics, adopted the neoclassical economics’ approach to gender issues. The book includes diverse case studies, which also highlight the continuity between the story of women’s emancipation and the more recent developments of feminist and gender studies.
This volume will be of great interest to researchers and academia in the fields of feminist economics, gender studies, and the history of economic thought.
"[T]his book provides a very useful and broad view of the long history of feminist and gender economics. It provides many interesting insights (my own copy is replete with Post-it Notes). It also encompasses female economists and thinkers whose names and work are not nearly as familiar to us as they should be...The book has been an enormous help to me in providing a tapestry of thinkers and their intersecting ideas, assisting me to better comprehend the intellectual and historical background of feminist and gender economics."
