Highlights the current research within feminist and non-mainstream economics

Includes photo-montages of the various economists throughout their careers

Engendering Economics Reviews

'Engendering Economics should interest anyone who desires to learn more about female economists. The book or individual chapters could be used in class to allow students to understand the history and difficulty for women choosing this path. These women overcame the institutional rigidity of the profession, yet many said they did not notice the biases they faced at the time and just accepted the way things were. The courage and determination it took for them to succeed is admirable.' - Julie H. Gallaway, Journal of Economic Issues
