Género, clase y raza en la economía feminista

Abstract

This is a historical review of the concepts of gender, class, and race employed in recently institutionalised feminist economics. After tracing the origins and objectives of this new branch in economics, we analyse the interlinks and hierarchies between gender, class and race, based on the wide literature concerning feminist economics appearing mainly in the United States in recent years. Weighing the results encourages a calling into question of the inherited idea of patriarchy, namely, that women are an exploited class, in order to integrate the fragmentary analysis of gender into a wider interpretation of reality based on structures of constraint.
