Abstract

BO OK REVIEWS underrepresented in academic science and leadership globally, and their lack of advancement is unfortunately still primarily attributed to a lack of intelligence or individual preferences. Perhaps because none of the contributors except May is an economist, these authors are more candid in their criticisms of Summers and choice theory than most economists would dare to be. Fear from backlash from powerful economists – or an inability to publish – more often than not can stifle genuine questioning of the tools economists use and why they use them. But as this collection demonstrates, what is at stake from our lax questioning are women’s equitable representation in the halls and leadership of knowledge and our capacity to imagine and foster women’s contributions to understanding the world.
