>> I'm writing a paper with a colleague (Smerilli) on the women contribution to economics (and more in general on the feminine dimension in economics), but it is very difficult to find a sort of history of the early days, because most of the references I found begin the history with Johan Robinson, Anna Schwartz,  plus some references to Mill's and Marshall's wives. In particular I'm interested in knowing who was the first academic woman with a tenure/position in universities in England or US or other countries.
