Between 1950 and 1975, the percentage of women receiving economic doctorates in the US sunk to an all time low. This book consists of a series of interviews with the pioneering few who did attain this status during that period. 'Engendering Economics should interest anyone who desires to learn more about female economists. The book or individual chapters could be used in class to allow students to understand the history and difficulty for women choosing this path. These women overcame the institutional rigidity of the profession, yet many said they did not notice the biases they faced at the time and just accepted the way things were. The courage and determination it took for them to succeed is admirable.' -Julie H. Gallaway, Journal of Economic Issues
