Shelly Lundberg "How Economics Discovered Women: Bringing Gender Economics into the Twenty-First Century" (U California Press, 2026)
Q: What do you see as the most important shift in how economics views women as workers and economic agents?
She discusses the move away from the unitary household model toward models that recognize bargaining, individual preferences, and the impact of social norms and institutions on women's economic outcomes.
Shelly Lundberg "How Economics Discovered Women: Bringing Gender Economics into the Twenty-First Century" (U California Press, 2026)
Q: Could you start us off, please, by introducing yourself a little bit and tell us why you decided to write this book?
Shelly Lundberg explains her background in economics, the pandemic-influenced path to writing the book, and how the project grew out of decades of research on gender, family, and economic behavior.
Erin Maglaquel "Presence: A Hidden History of the Female Body" (Astra House, 2026)
Q: How does the pregnancy chapter frame pregnancy as a desiring state, and what does that reveal about early modern perceptions of fetal life?
She explains that maternal desire and pregnancy were understood through concepts like the maternal imagination and humoral theory, where cravings and emotional states could be seen as influencing the fetus, revealing a nuanced and ambivalent view of pregnancy.
Rick Ramseyer, "Girl Without a Country: The Untold Story of a Landmark Fight for U.S. Citizenship" (Purdue UP, 2026)
Q: How does this case connect to broader historical debates about immigration policy and the rights of conscientious objectors?
It shows how religious beliefs, gender roles, and pacifist ethics intersected with state power, influencing court decisions, congressional hearings, and public discourse at a time when immigration policy and definitions of citizenship were being contested and redefined.
Rick Ramseyer, "Girl Without a Country: The Untold Story of a Landmark Fight for U.S. Citizenship" (Purdue UP, 2026)
Q: What was the key turning point in Martha Graber's path to citizenship, and how did public attention influence the case?
The turning point came on her third attempt in September 1930 when a new judge allowed the petition to proceed, and media attention underscored the tension between gender, religion, and national duty, ultimately shaping the narrative around conscientious objection.
