“Beyond Economic Man represented a milestone in feminist economics and became a classic text not just for feminist economics but also for feminist scholars more generally. It was novel, fresh, and important, a hard act to follow. But the sequel delivers the goods. The strength of this volume is testimony to the vitality of feminist economics, which is maturing from a critique to an approach.”
–Jane Humphries, editor of Gender and Economics

“Beyond Economic Man was a pathbreaking book—one of the first to offer feminist economics and those intrigued by this seeming oxymoron a way to understand and validate the new field. The articles in this follow-up volume are remarkably clear and readable. The authors tap what I believe is most important about feminist economics—its critique of mainstream economics for being profoundly gender biased, and new ways to think about care giving and collaboration in economics.”
–Randy Albelda, author of Economics and Feminism and coauthor of The War on the Poor
