BOHN, Liana  and  MAGNO FERNANDEZ, Brena Paula. LAS MUJERES EN LA HISTORIA DEL PENSAMIENTO ECONÓMICO: ECONOMÍA, LITERATURA Y RETÓRICA EN MARCET Y McCLOSKEY. Estud. econ. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.80, pp.105-129. ISSN 2525-1295.

History of Economic Thought traditionally relegated women and their contributions to a marginal place since the awakening of Economics as an autonomous discipline. The present paper goes against this trend, recovering the remarkable trajectory of one of the pioneer female economist, Jane Marcet (1769-1858), and contrasting her writings with the possibilities of doing “good economics” from different approaches, including Literature. This rescue takes place through McCloskey’s recommendations regarding the rhetoric in economics and the author’s affirmation that “Economics is Literature”.

Keywords : pioneer women in economics; jane marcet; feminist economics.
