      This research handbook, edited by Figart (Richard Stockton College of New Jersey) and Warnecke (Rollins College), reviews the literature on the relationship between gender and economic life, stressing gender as a social construction and adopting a broad definition of economic life that sees it as a process of provisioning for well-being and thus moves towards a more multidimensional understanding of economic practices than is standard to the field of economics. The volume's 33 contributions are organized into sections focused on: analytical tools for the feminist investigation of economic life; the gendered impacts of formal and informal institutions that shape economic provisioning; gendered employment inequalities in formal and informal work; policies for addressing gendered employment outcomes; linkages between gender and macroeconomic concerns of the economy, finance, and credit; the relationship between gender and issues of human development, education, and health; and the gendered economic dimensions of such contemporary "hot topics" as migration, environmental degradation and sustainability, conflict and peace, and trafficking.
