Designed as a primary or supplementary text for the growing number of courses offered on women's roles in the economy, this reader showcases feminist economic analyses that utilize insights from institutionalism as well as neoclassical economics. The economics chapters are supplemented with contributions by authors from gender studies, sociology, demography, history, philosophy, policy, planning, business studies, and advocacy groups. Each section includes an introduction with background material, key terms, discussion questions, exercises, and further readings.
