IAFFE Announces the winner of
THE SURAJ MAL AND SHYAMA DEVI AGARWAL BOOK PRIZE

We are delighted to announce that the winner of the 2023 Suraj Mal and Shyama Devi Agarwal Book Prize is Joanna Rostek for her book Women’s Economic Thought in the Romantic Age. The Book Prize Committee was greatly impressed by Rostek's book for its groundbreaking analysis and the particular ways in which she has inserted women’s voices into the history of economic thought.

The book challenges the traditional androcentric view of economics by exploring the economic writings of English women during the Romantic Age. It presents a transdisciplinary methodology that brings together feminist economics, literary studies, cultural studies, gender studies, and history to shed light on women's economic struggles and their enduring fight for economic enfranchisement. The book reveals the longevity of feminist economic thought and presents original ideas on economic topics that remain relevant up to this day. The committee was impressed by the depth and breadth of research and analysis presented in this book and its contribution to the field of economics and gender studies.

You can purchase Women’s Economic Thought in the Romantic Age here.

About the prize:
The Suraj Mal and Shyama Devi Agarwal Book Prize was established by Bina Agarwal (IAFFE’s first President from the Global South) to honor her late parents, who, throughout their lives and with great generosity, supported young women to pursue their dreams of higher education and chart out a path of intellectual excellence. The Prize is a testament to the enduring legacy of Bina Agarwal's parents and their commitment to promoting gender equality in the global economy. The Agarwal Book Prize acknowledges books that showcase original avenues in theory, methodology, empirical analysis, and policy with regards to any facet of gender and the economy, across any geographical region. The Prize will be awarded at the 2 023 Annual Conference, July 5-8 2023.

The authors of the winning book will receive an honorarium of $1000. An additional amount (up to $1,500) will be available to assist in covering the Prize recipient’s expenses to attend the IAFFE Annual Conference. The Prize recipient will be invited to make a presentation or participate in an event at such conference related to the subject of the book.

Previous winners of the prize are Caroline Shahnaz Hossein in 2019, and Gamze Cavdar and Yavuz Yasar in 2021, with Stephanie Barrientos receiving an honorable mention for her book.

IAFFE expresses its gratitude to the Book Prize Committee for thoroughly evaluating and choosing the winning books.
