The conceptual tools of economic history and the history of economic thought alike are used to reveal the economic ideas of women overlooked by historiography in four fields, namely as entrepreneurs, workers, educators, and politicians. As for the entrepreneurs, the book examines the businesswoman Isabella De Mari Doria (eighteenth century) and other figures active in both the industrialized and the informal sectors in the nineteenth century. The important issues of female employment and wage discrimination based on gender are analyzed, taking into account the debates of the period. In turn, the role of women in economic education in the first half of the twentieth century is reconstructed through the figure of Aurelia Josz, an educational entrepreneur who trained female agricultural entrepreneurs, managers, and teachers, and by exploring the presence of women at universities, both as students of economics and as educators and researchers. Lastly, the book takes a closer look at women involved in politics who dealt with economic issues: the socialist Anna Kuliscioff, the fascist Margherita Grassini Sarfatti, and the 21 women who took part in the Italian Constituent Assembly in June 1946. Given its scope, the book appeals to scholars and students of the history of economic thought, economic history, and women?s studies. 410 0$aSpringer Studies in the History of Economic Thought,$x2662-6101 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aSex 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a331.40945 700 $aMosca$b Manuela$0127164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910887803803321 996 $aWomen at Work in Italy (1750?1950)$94431809 997 $aUNINA
