Review Quotes:
As one of the leading lights of feminist economics, Diane Elson's work has reframed the economics discipline, challenging its gender-blind assumptions and laying the intellectual groundwork for a generation of scholars and practitioners. This book brings together a lifetime of her extraordinary scholarship, from the foundational concepts she pioneered to the gender-aware and policy-relevant economic frameworks that continue to shape the field. This is not just a book to read - it's a book to think with.
