"This valuable and well-constructed volume provides an excellent illustration of the internationally collaborative processes of feminist economics. The papers amplify and deepen the social provisioning approach, offering cutting edge insights into all aspects of economic life while embracing a heterodox approach that transcends disciplinary limits." - Marilyn Power, Professor Emerita of Economics, Sarah Lawrence College.
