Superfluous women and the invisible economists of Langham Place

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Based on the centrality that gender assumes for the construction of historical knowledge, this paper intends to contribute to the rescue of both economic problems sensitive to women and the works of women economists previously relegated to oblivion. The “superfluous women” and Langham Place’s “invisible economists” are, respectively, the question and the characters forgotten by the history of economic thought on which we will focus. Following the Foucauldian analytical approach proposed by the historian Joan Scott, our goal is to retell this history in light of the politics of the gender system.
