Description

'This is a book the generalist will want in the university library, if not on the shelf.' - Bette Polkinghorn, Journal of the History of Economic Thought 'Pujol's book is pathbreaking, scholarly and well written. In short review, it is not possible to capture the full force of her arguments and the enormous contribution she makes to the feminist critique of economic thought.' - Paulette Olson, Journal of Economic Issues This path breaking book - the first of its kind - critically evaluates the place of women in the development of the neo-classical school of economics. It traces the origin of the school's approach to women and exposes the bias in methodology and discourse which has characterized the school's treatment of women and their place in the capitalist economy.
