"Economics is not a man's field"
In honor of the Economic Growth Center’s 60th anniversary during the 2020/21 academic year, we are telling the stories, not only of well-known faculty who helped build EGC’s name and the field of development economics, but also members of the EGC community whose contributions have been overlooked, including women and international visiting scholars.
Below, you can read the stories of some of the pioneering women who helped found EGC, made inroads in Yale Economics as students and faculty, and pushed for equality in academia.
