DESCRIPTION:WEN-ACT Celebrating the stories of&nbsp\;Women in economics
The WEN-&nbsp\;ACT Committee is pleased to invite WEN members to attend a casual evening at Muse\, East Hotel\, Griffith.
Celebrating the stories of women in economics &amp\; networking event
Do you know which female economist outsold Charles Dickens? Or the woman whose contributions to John Stuart Mill's work was dismissed as a bad influence? And what about the female co-author of Nobel laureate Milton Friedman\, who he credited with 'doing all the work'?
While Claudia Goldin's Nobel Prize win has recently shed light on the work of women economists\, the history of economics is still predominantly dominated by male names: Smith\, Ricardo\, Mill\, Marshall\, Keynes\, Hayek\, Samuelson\, and Friedman\, to name a few. Shockingly\, only one woman\, Joan Robinson\, was among the 125 economists featured in the Handbook on the History of Economic Analysis (2018).
&nbsp\;However\, there are alternative narratives that offer a richer history of economics. Many brilliant women have played crucial roles in economics over the last three centuries\, writing\, teaching\, researching\, and pushing forward real-world economic issues. Their stories have often been overshadowed or forgotten.
Join us as we delve into the lives and work of women economists from the 19th and 20th centuries\, including figures like Harriet Martineau\, Harriet Taylor Mill\, and Anna Schwartz\, among others. These extraordinary women have been overlooked for far too long\, and it's time to finally recognise their names and stories.
In addition to celebrating the invaluable contributions of these women\, we also look forward to marking the close of 2024\, providing an opportunity to meet&nbsp\;new people and reconnect with old friends.
