Abstract

This paper examines how women’s participation in the Allied Social Science Associations annual meetings has changed since the American Economic Association annual meeting was expanded into a joint conference – initially of seven associations, later joined by many other economics and economics-related associations. Particular attention is paid to characterize how this expansion affected women’s participation. Historical perspective is provided by comparing women’s participation in ASSA meetings in the 20th century and first years of the 21st century with their participation in the ‘first’ ASSA, the American Social Science Association, in the decades between the end of the Civil War and the 1885 creation of the American Economic Association.
