Discover feminist economics through historical texts and contemporary perspectives. Judith Derndorfer highlights pioneering women and their ideas for greater equality.
Economist Judith Derndorfer, Ph.D., presents selected texts by pioneers of feminist economics in Austria. The collection spans from 1892 to 2021 and illustrates how economists and activists shaped key debates on economic equality—from equal pay for equal work to work-life balance and the fair distribution of paid and unpaid labor.
The lecture highlights how these pioneers expanded the predominantly male-dominated perspective on economics, often without adequate recognition. Judith Derndorfer, herself an expert in feminist economics, guides the audience through different eras and demonstrates how current discussions build on historical struggles. The aim is to make the achievements of these women visible and emphasize their relevance to today’s issues.
