Trade Review'The Elgar Companion to Feminist Economics
provides an overview of feminist economic concepts on which is is difficult to find information in a succinct format. The minimal use of technical language makes the book accessible to a broad audience of individuals from a variety of disciplines. This book can be considered a mini-encyclopedia on feminist economics that individuals can use as their first step into topics of interest. . . Peterson and Lewis should be applauded on their addition to this ever-advancing school of economic thought.'
