Abstract

"A Herstory of Economics" by Edith Kuiper is a comprehensive book that highlights the contributions of women economists throughout history. The book includes ninety-eight women authors who wrote about economic life, ideas, and policy. It covers various themes such as power, education, wealth, production, distribution, and consumption. The book also acknowledges its limitations in terms of time, scope, and geographic representation, and calls for more herstories of economics from different regions of the world. Overall, "A Herstory of Economics" provides valuable insights into the often overlooked contributions of women in the field of economics. [Extracted from the article]
