Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marginalization of women in economics has a history as long as the discipline itself. Throughout the history of economics, women have contributed substantial novel ideas, methods of inquiry, and analytical insights, with much of this discounted, ignored, or shifted into alternative disciplines and writing outlets. This handbook presents much-needed new analytical research of women's contributions in the history of economic thought. The book substantially expands on the global angle of our knowledge about women and the history of economic thought. Analysis continues to deepen in Europe and the US and extends into the Arab world, China, India, Japan, Latin America, Russia and the Soviet Union, and sub-Saharan Africa. Chapters address the experiences of women attempting to create knowledge in economics and explore women's contributions to economic analysis, method, policies, and debates. The book offers crucial new insights into previously underexplored work by women in the history of economic thought, and should prove to be a seminal volume with relevance beyond that field, into women's studies, sociology, and history.
