Sommario/riassunto

Women, Family, and Work is a collection of original essays on topics related to the economics of gender and the family. Written by leading thinkers in the field, the essays apply traditional economic theory to



non-traditional topics, while also stretching and bending neoclassical economic thought to provide a better model of economic interactions.
