‘. . . there is much material in this collection of papers prepared for a workshop at the Centre for the Study of the History of Economic Thought at the University of Sydney that will be of interest to readers not already familiar with the literature. Some of the material will also be of interest in getting one more interpretation of the views of the various authors discussed here.’
–Marianne A. Ferber, Journal of the History of Economic Thought
‘. . . fascinating collection of essays. . .’
– Joan Perkin, The Journal of Economic History
Feminism and Political Economy in Victorian England examines the attitudes of leading nineteenth-century economic writers to the ‘Woman Question’. Focusing on the work of J.S. Mill, Henry Fawcett, W.S. Jevons, Henry Sidgwick, Alfred Marshall, the Webbs and Clara Collet, this volume reveals that women’s issues were more widely discussed during the Victorian era than is sometimes supposed.
