This path breaking book - the first of its kind - critically
evaluates the place of women in the development of the neoclassical
school of economics. It traces the origin of the school's approach
to women and exposes the bias in methodology and discourse which
has characterized the school's treatment of women and their place
in the capitalist economy. The roots of women's invisibility are
sought first in the writings of Adam Smith. The work of John Stuart
Mill subsequently allows a study of an isolated attempt to
integrate a feminist awareness into economic theory. The limits in
Mill's writings are contrasted to the more radical ideas of his
feminist contemporaries: Harriet Taylor and Barbara Bodichon. The
author then examines the debate on equal pay for men and women
which took place between 1890 and 1925. In conclusion she
critically evaluates the work of Marshall and Pigou. This book by
the late Michele Pujol makes a major contribution both to the
history of economic thought and to women's history by exposing the
ideological position which informs neoclassical theorizing on women
and the contradictions this position creates within the paradigm.
