Summary:

"This pioneering book aims to rectify and reduce the historic marginalization of women's economic scholarship, underlining their contributions to the field of heterodox economics. Written by women, the book centres women's voices, allowing them to represent themselves and their work. With most of the contributors originating beyond the Anglophone sphere, the book has a global outlook, pushing against the USA-centric scholarship on women in heterodox economics of recent decades. Focusing on why women are heterodox economists, and on their contributions to traditions in the field, chapters include first-hand accounts by both established and emerging heterodox economists covering their careers, influences, and thoughts on the future of the field. It also showcases the contributions of key women scholars to the development of dominant approaches including original institutional economics, feminist economics, Marxist economics, post-Keynesian economics, and development economics. A vital reference for heterodox economists around the globe, this Elgar Companion is also an enlightening read for scholars in political economy, sociology, history, political science, philosophy, and gender studies"-- Provided by publisher.
