Feminist Economics

Economics Today supports the goal of increasing diversity in our subject.

An important aspect of this is encouraging more females to study Economics and recognising ways in which the subject has undervalued (and still does undervalue) the role of women.

Here we publish on an open-access basis an important contribution to the field from Dominique Ellis, her long read on Feminist Economics, which was first published in Volume 28 Issue 1 of Economics Today.

We return to the theme in Volume 29 Issue 2, where our Book Review by Economics in Ten features a number of books focused on the role of women in economics, notably ‘A Herstory of Economics’ by Edith Kuiper.

In the same issue Oliver Gardner looks at the economic implications of the decision to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling in the USA.

In Volume 29 issue 3, he will examine the economic implications of same-sex marriage
