Worldly Women Philosophers: Learning from the Lives, Times and Ideas of the Other Great Economic Thinkers
To mark International Women’s day a panel of economists and social historians will introduce the women economists they believe we most need to learn from today, followed by a discussion about what can be done to bring diversity back into economics and economic policy making, and what mechanisms might enable a wider range of voices to be heard.
All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don’t, our lives get made up for us by other people.

Worldly Women Philosophers: Learning from the Lives, Times and Ideas of the Other Great Economic Thinkers
Worldly Women Philosophers is an active contribution to the transformation of the economic system, exploring one significant group that economic history has overlooked – women. As the economist Judith Alexander points out: “many women economists must lie in the literary equivalent of unmarked graves.” Reclaiming the lives, work and ideas of the women left out of economic history will vastly expand, and enhance, the landscape of economic philosophy so that it more fully reflects the range and diversity of our collective lived experience and potential. This, we believe, can go some way towards creating the conditions in which everyone is able to live and flourish without undermining the ecosystem on which we call depend.
We have claimed the historical realities of our lives as the place where thought and politics not only do begin but should begin.
