In this work, Ferber and Nelson look back at the progress of feminist economics and forward to its future, offering a thorough summary of feminist economic thought followed by original essays from the field's leading scholars.

The 1993 publication of Marianne A. Ferber and Julie A. Nelson's "Beyond Economic Man" was a landmark in both feminist scholarship and the discipline of economics, and it quickly became a handbook for those seeking to explore the emerging connections between the two. A decade later, this book looks back at the progress of feminist economics and forward to its future, offering both a thorough overview of feminist economic thought and a collection of new, high-quality work from the field's leading scholars.
