Overview

Discover the untold stories of the women who revolutionized economics-and why it matters more than ever today. From Harriet Martineau to Esther Duflo, The Economics of Female Economists brings to life the women who transformed our understanding of markets, development, inequality, and justice. These are not just ""women who also did economics""-they are pioneers who redefined what economics could be. Whether they were turning complex theories into gripping fiction (Martineau), challenging the myths of perfect markets (Joan Robinson), or using real-world data to fight global poverty (Esther Duflo), these thinkers asked bold questions, broke institutional barriers, and pushed the boundaries of a male-dominated discipline. This engaging, accessible book is ideal for students, educators, and anyone curious about the human side of economics. Through rich storytelling, critical analysis, and practical classroom applications, it uncovers how women's voices have reshaped the field-and why those voices are still urgently needed. Inside you'll find: Profiles of influential economists from the 19th century to today Analysis of how gender shapes research questions, policy, and theory A fresh, inclusive approach to key economic concepts Tools for rethinking how economics is taught and learned If you're ready to rethink what economics is-and who it's for-this book will change the way you see the subject.
