The Feminist Challenge to Economics

Author

Listed:
  • Ann Mari May

Abstract

A critical assumption in economics is that Economic Man has freedom of choice. But does Economic Woman? The author quotes Virginia Woolf's declaration that women want a room of their own. She makes clear, however, that feminist economics wants to remake the room occupied by standard economics. This is one of the clearest summaries of the purpose of feminist economics available.
