Biography
Rania Antonopoulos is Senior Scholar and Director of the Gender Equality and the Economy program area of the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, USA and co-director of the Global Network on Gender, Macroeconomics and International Economics (GEM-IWG).
All good research should raise new research questions. The fact that this book
triggers such questions is in itself a confirmation of the quality of the research. I
recommend this book to everybody who is interested in the gendered impact of the
crisis, as well as to those who are looking for feasible, macroeconomic policy options to
address crises in ways which reduce gender inequalities, as well as other social
inequalities.Irene Van Staveren, Irene van Staveren, Professor of Pluralist Development Economics, Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
