This book was released on 2000 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual volume marks a substantial beginning to assessing the work of women economists from the late 19th and into the 20th century (it excludes economists who are active now). The 100-plus articles are written by an international group of economists. Each gives the subject's biographical background, her work in the field and its public and professional reception, and provides a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. Primarily of interest to economists, this rich depiction of often out-of-the-ordinary lives and thought raises many questions about the field as a whole. There is no index.
