Historians of economic thought have rarely given much attention to writings by women. This volume is intended to help remedy that situation. It presents a wide-ranging collection of references to women's writings on economic issues from the 1770s to 1940. Among the more than 1,700 writers included are prolific scholars, sleading social reformers, economic journalists and government officials, along with many women who contributed only one or two works to the field. The topics addressed include principles of political economy, poverty, trade unions, women's employment, child labor, women's property rights, imperialism, and slavery. Most of the references are to writings in English, but some works are in other languages.
This bibliography will serve as a major reference work for inquiries
concerning gender and economic thought. It will help illuminate the history and sociology of economics, the lives of female social scientists and activists, and the histories of labor, feminism, and social reform.
