This book highlights the role of women in economic science, which, in many cases, has been hidden or belittled in the midst of a male-dominated profession. You will find a selection of 29 women who have contributed or are contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge distributed in four parts: beginnings of economic science, academic contributions, in the centers of power and at the service of social movements.
