Feminist Economics Today: Beyond Economic Man Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition

by Marianne A. Ferber (Editor); Julie A. Nelson (Editor)


First line

Hidden assumptions related to gender have affected the deep theoretical structure of neoclassical economics.

From the rear cover

The 1993 publication of Marianne A. Ferber and Julie A. Nelson's Beyond Economic Man was a landmark in both feminist scholarship and the discipline of economics, and it quickly became a handbook for those seeking to explore the emerging connections between the two. A decade later, this book looks back at the progress of feminist economics and forward to its future, offering both a thorough overview of feminist economic thought and a collection of new, high-quality work from the field's leading scholars.
