This important selection of articles shows how feminist economics has illuminated our understanding of topics such as household decision-making, the care economy, globalization, the feminization of the labour force, macroeconomics, trade, development, and international migration. Many of the essays provide a feminist perspective on policy and social transformation. The editors have provided an original introduction to the literature, ensuring that these volumes will be an essential source of reference for both students and scholarsSummary: Alys Willman (2008), 'Safety First, Then Condoms: Commercial Sex, Risky Behavior, and the Spread of HIV/AIDS in Managua, Nicaragua', Feminist Economics, 14 (4), October, 37-65 -- Eileen Stillwaggon (2008), 'Race, Sex, and the Neglected Risks for Women and Girls in Sub-Saharan Africa', Feminist Economics, 14 (4), October, 67-86 -- Nancy Folbre (1994), 'Children as Public Goods', American Economic Review, 84 (2), May, 86-90 -- Deborah Levison (2000), 'Children as Economic Agents', Feminist Economics, 6 (1), March, 125-34 -- Cristina Carrasco and Arantxa Rodríguez (2000), 'Women, Families, and Work in Spain: Structural Changes and New Demands', Feminist Economics, 6 (1), March, 45-57 -- Carmen Sirianni and Cynthia Negrey (2000), 'Working Time As Gendered Time', Feminist Economics, 6 (1), March, 59-76 -- Maria Sagrario Floro (1995), 'Women's Well-Being, Poverty, and Work Intensity', Feminist Economics, 1 (3), November, 1-25 -- Gabrielle Meagher (1997), 'Recreating "Domestic Service " Institutional Cultures and the Evolution of Paid Household Work', Feminist Economics, 3 (2), July, 1-27 -- Anita Nyberg (2000), 'From Foster Mothers to Child Care Centers: A History of Working Mothers and Child Care in Sweden', Feminist Economics, 6 (1), March, 5-20 -- Jennifer C.
