Focusing on under-explored areas of feminist history, the book investigates women's economic contributions across regions like Greece, Italy, and the Balkans. Polly Thanailaki analyzes female agency in family finances and national economies, highlighting their roles within a transnational context. The study employs original sources, including archives and newspapers, to examine the interplay of gender, economy, and society. It aims to fill gaps in gender studies, economic history, and social history by providing a comprehensive view of women's impact in these regions.
