New Books in Economic and Business History

In this episode of the JESB podcast, we focus on a landmark special issue: “Women as Economic Actors: New Sources, Theories, and Methods” (Vol. 10, No. 1, 2025).

We begin the episode by exploring the editors’ introductory essay,

which outlines key historiographical and methodological interventions,

emphasizing the role of new archival practices, oral histories, and

cross-disciplinary approaches. From there, we touch on the rest of contributing articles:
