Abstract

ABSTRACT: Feminist political economy is not just about inequalities based on gender and sexuality. It reaches for new ways of thinking about individual agency and social structure, and challenges traditional definitions of exploitation and economic crisis. In this essay, a bit of intellectual history generates a rather optimistic vision of what could become a more creative, expansive, and pluralistic discipline.
