Abstract: Presented at the 2023 ALAHPE Conference Collection: A Selection of Papers Presented at the 2023 ALAHPE Conference "The historiography on women economists has increased so far in the last three decades. When we examine the literature in the history of economic thought, we observe an absence of Latin American women, which attests to a two-fold discrimination: first for being Latin Americans, and second, for being women. Some questions I am working on here are what are some of the different trajectories of women economists? Is it different to be an economist in the global north and south? What are the profiles of women economists in Latin American? what kind of careers do women have that are publicly recognized and renowned? Which women were able to gain access to these powerful positions and what role did they play? My overall goal is to rebalance the role of women, LGBTQ+, Black economists, Latinamericans and other groups in the history of economics."
