Feminist Economics Today

The 1993 publication of Marianne A. Ferber and Julie A. Nelson'sBeyond Economic Manwas 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.

Marianne A. Ferber is a professor emerita of economics and women's studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Julie A. Nelson is a senior research associate at the Global Development and Environment Institute of Tufts University and the author of Feminism, Objectivity, and Economics. Both are associate editors of the journal Feminist Economics.
