Edited by a leading scholar in the field, this is a new title in
the Routledge Major Works series, Critical Concepts in Economics.
It is a four-volume collection of historical and contemporary work
in the flourishing field of feminist economics, an innovative and
dynamic area of scholarship that broadens the scope of economic
inquiry and allows a richer and more complex view of the ways in
which economies function. The first two volumes of the collection
consist of work done before the founding of the International
Association for Feminist Economics in 1991 and are organized
historically. The final two volumes consist of cutting-edge
contemporary work in feminist economics and are organized
thematically. This new Routledge title, edited by two leading
scholars, is a four-volume collection of canonical and the very
best cutting-edge work in feminist economics, an innovative and
dynamic area of scholarship that has broadened the scope of
economic inquiry and has allowed a richer and more complex
understanding of the ways in which economies function. Volume I
('Early Conversations, 1800-1960') gathers foundational work
produced before the professionalization and specialization of the
social sciences by writers who were variously categorized as
journalists, reformers, and-occasionally-as economists. Their
writing provides important historical background on subjects such
as household production, women's participations in paid labour, and
gender equality, subjects that remain central to feminist economics
today. Volume II ('Households, Labour, and Paid Work') brings
together the best work by professional economists examining various
aspects of women's labour both within and outside the domestic
sphere. Topics include reproductive labour, caring labour, women's
labour force participation, the gender wage gap, occupational
segregation, and the economics of the family. Volume III
('Engendering Development and Economic Well-Being') assembles work
with a specifically international or global perspective. Among the
topics covered are: women and development; the gendered effects of
structural adjustment; property rights; economic transformation;
and measures of economic well-being. The final volume in the
collection ('Epistemological and Methodological Considerations')
focuses on a feminist rethinking of economics. Volume IV collects
the best scholarship on methodology, the history of economics, and
postmodern and postcolonial critiques of both feminist and
conventional economics. Fully indexed and with a comprehensive
introduction to each volume newly written by the editors, and an
invited introduction to the final volume written by Gillian
Hewitson, which places the collected material in its historical and
intellectual context, Feminist Economics is an essential reference
work. It is destined to be valued by scholars and students of
economics-as well as those working in allied disciplines such as
women's and gender studies-as a vital research resource.
