Rethinking the Economy in a Feminist Way – Judith Derndorfer: JBZ Monday Rounds 262

The JBZ Monday Rounds focus on the topic of "Thinking Economy Feministically" and shed light on the historical and current struggles of women for economic equality. The main demands include equal pay for equal work, the compatibility of family and career, and the fair distribution of paid and unpaid labor. Using the text collection Pioneers of Feminist Economics in Austria: Selected Texts from 1892 to 2021, the event illustrates how women were overlooked in economic historiography due to their gender and the topics they addressed, and how their contributions broaden the prevailing male-dominated view of the economy.

Judith Derndorfer, economist and speaker on distribution issues and feminist economics at the AK Wien, provides insights into various eras, themes, and struggles—from the early women's movement in the late 19th century to current analyses. The event is held in cooperation with the AK Salzburg, which also conducts research on feminist economic topics. If the event is not fully booked, registration is required at https://jungk-bibliothek.org/mranmeldung/. The event will also be streamed.
