Here is a link to my 58th column on Quartz, “How big is economics’ sexism problem? This article’s co-author is anonymous because of it,” coauthored with an anonymous female economist. 

Justin Wolfers has more tweets listing excellent female economists than my editor thought we could include without breaking up the flow too much. You can see them at

I also lobbied unsuccessfully for this sentence 

What we mean is that female economists should be encouraged to assert their power, but male economists should find it hard or impossible to exert illegitimate, sexist power over their female colleagues.

to be changed to this more subtle take:

What we mean is that female economists should be encouraged to assert their power, but male economists should find it hard or impossible to exert illegitimate power (which gives those men an unfair advantage over women when that illegitimate power is exercised to intimidate other men into favoring them over women as well as when it is used directly against women).

But my editor thought that was overkill. 

Reactions: Jeff Smith had a nice blog post reacting to the column, and Claudia Sahm had a very interesting Ello post.
