Mary Ann has a helpful suggestion. Charting links from closed
truncated chains to their rebirth in later thinkers. Terence Hutchison's
wonderful _Before Adam Smith_ is wonderful for identifying many
'new' hot ideas in 20th century economics already in economics, as his
title has it, _Before Adam Smith_ -- e.g. uncertainty, undesigned
order, etc. Again, I think recovering these links can help us think
again about the significance of these ideas. Certainly in very different
context, of whatever kind -- gender or not, ideas will have a quite
different significance.
