Reviews

“This excellent detective work solves a kind of murder mystery: it reveals the underappreciated heroines of a remarkably longstanding effort to improve the scope of economic theory.”
Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts “History is written by the victors, and for too long economics has been dominated by old white men. This pioneering book denounces the male bias in economics and sets the record straight. Edith Kuiper shows that proper consideration for women’s many contributions to economic thinking opens up economics to badly needed new ideas and perspectives. We need less history and more herstory.”
Carlo D’Ippoliti, Sapienza University of Rome

“A most enlightening book.”
