The recent Nobel Prize awarded to prof. Claudia Goldin highlights the importance of understanding the evolution and drivers of gender differences in our societies. The journal Investigaciones de Historia Económica – Economic History Research (IHE-EHR) is preparing a special issue to honour the work of prof. Goldin and present novel research on the causes and consequences of gender disparities. The editors invite contributions on a wide array of topics that may include (among others) some of the following themes:

• The long-run evolution and drivers of female labour outcomes (e.g. wages, labor force participation, labor conditions), demographic outcomes (e.g. fertility, nuptiality, morbidity, mortality) or educational outcomes (e.g. enrolment, years of schooling).
• The consequences of gender disparities for living standards, household economic strategies, etc.
• Female entrepreneurship.
• The political consequences of female political representation.
• The gendered impacts of welfare states and tax systems.
• The interaction of gender with class, race and other factors in generating unequal outcomes.

We welcome studies taking a long-term perspective from a wide geographical and temporal coverage. We will consider both comparative studies and studies on single locations, sectors, or businesses. Papers should be written in Spanish or English.
