In 1890, the British Economic Association was formed, which would later become the Royal Economic Society. At that meeting was Millicent Fawcett and ten or eleven other women. Better known as one of the foremost leaders of the movement for women's suffrage, she was also at the heart of the economic establishment of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, not only through her marriage to renowned economist Henry Fawcett but also, as is less well known, as author of one of the most popular economics textbooks of the day.  In this podcast from your friendly neighbourhood economists, Pete and Gav, you will find out about the life of Millicent Fawcett and her contribution to economics. Along the way, you can find out more about the forgotten women of the world of Victorian economics and also dip a toe into the modern day field of Feminist Economics. There is a quiz as always and technical support comes from chief wizard Nic, pulling another podcast rabbit out of his hat.

Season 5 Episode 5 - Millicent Fawcett

Gillian Wearing

Millicent Fawcett was a suffragist who fought for women’s right to vote. The first law allowing them to do so passed in 1918. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveils a statue commemorating Millicent Fawcett's courage in Parliament Square.  This is the first time a woman is honoured in the square, while 11 other men in bronze already stand there. We met with London’s Deputy Mayor for Culture Justine Simons to ask if the commemoration was too little, too late. Interview in English.  More info www.culturealt.com

Happy International Women’s Day – up the women!To celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, we’re running a series of interviews with some kick-ass broads. Ayesha Hazarika talks to us about politics, comedy and how the two can go hand-in-hand; Laura Bates chats about her new book Misogynation and some truly startling facts and figues about everyday sexism. Historian and Newnham fellow Dr Gill Sutherland explains the important role Millicent Fawcett played in the suffrage movement and England rugby captain Sarah Hunter talks sport in general and rugby in particular. Here’s Dr Gill Sutherland, historian and Newnham College fellow explaining why Millicent Fawcett was such a big suffrage deal and very different to the Pankhursts. Just a heads-up: we recorded this in a room at Newnham that turned out to be a tad echoey.It seems exactly the right time to big up some charities doing excellent work for women, but desperately in need of your cash, should you have some to spare: Refuge, Rape Crisis, the Abortion Support Network, the Homeless Period, Women in Sport, The Samaritans and just putting a few extra items, including sanitary hygiene products, in your local food bank. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.
