Feminist Political Economy: A Global Perspective

Wise Director, Professor Sara Cantillon, has recently published her co-authored book “Feminist Political Economy:  A Global Perspective”.

This book offers an introduction to key topics in feminist political economy, including the global division of labour, social reproduction, child and elder care, the household and intra-household inequalities, labour market inequalities, welfare regimes, the feminization of poverty and economic indicators. The authors take a global perspective throughout and engage in debates that are relevant for the Global North and/or the Global South. The book offers readers a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the role of power relations and inequality in the economy.
