Abstract

A growing number of studies, primarily focusing on Anglo-Saxon countries, and North America in particular, have attempted to quantify and contextualise the contributions of women to the evolution of economic thought and ideas. These studies have outlined the unique characteristics of their contributions, such as innovative approaches or the segregation of research topics and methodologies. However, the European and Italian contexts remain poorly defined. The article aims to highlight the contributions of women to the economic debates in Italy during the interwar period (1918-1939), offering a new perspective on their contributions in five Italian economic journals. Several women published articles on a variety of subjects with different styles, approaches, and methods in the pages of Giornale degli Economisti, Rivista Internazionale di Scienze Sociali, Rivista di Politica Economica, Rivista Critica Sociale, and Riforma Sociale. Even if partial and with the limits of the observation of a few Italian economic journals, the overall picture broadens the scope of economic thought and contributes to the study of diversity in the economic profession in Italy.
