"Drucilla Barker and Edith Kuiper should be applauded for pulling
together such a wide-ranging and stimulating set of articles.They
have struck just the right balance between well-known classics and
summary statements by established writers and fresh interventions
by young scholars. The collection takes stock of the enormous
achievements of feminist economics in the last 15 years but also
points the way forward."
-Jane Humphries, Reader in Economic History Oxford University and
Fellow of All Souls College
"The book provides an excellent introduction to the multi-faceted
field of feminist economics, as well as a thought provoking must
read for those working in the field. It should be required reading
for all contemporary economists, for it holds the promise of
constructively transforming the way in which economists define and
do their research. The book would be a useful text for advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses in economics and
philosophy."
-Julie Matthaei, Professor of Economics, Wellesley College. Author,
with Teresa Amott, of "Race, Gender, & Work: A Multicultural
Economic History of Women in America
"Drucilla Barker and Edith Kuiper are to be commended for putting
together this ambitious, ground breaking collection of articles on
the philosophy of feminist economics. The book shows how far
feminist economics has come in the past ten years since the
appearance of BEYOND ECONOMIC MAN. The book shows the power and
promise of the feminist philosophical and conceptual lens for
transforming economic method, discourse, and institutions."
