Merry Christmas everyone! #EconSky podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

My Year in Books 2025, with thanks to Dr. Victoria Bateman, @vnbateman.bsky.social, who gave me a copy of her book Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power, which inspired me to write about my Grandma. medium.com/@josieglz/my...

What did the child workers of the British #IndustrialRevolution do for #Christmas at #QuarryBankMill in #Manchester?

Christmas is associated with women’s unpaid labour, so I’m thrilled to be in the #YorkshirePost Christmas special, spotlighting the women who monetised #Christmas, from the inventor of a popular family board game to the first commercial audiobook (A Child’s Christmas in Wales) #Economica

From Santa and Scrooge to the Three Wise Men and - of course - Baby Jesus, #Christmas is associated with famous men. So, meet the women from history who made Christmas what it is today - as I discuss in today’s @yorkshirepost.co.uk 🔻 #Economica #womenwealthpower

Read my secret history of women in #accountancy in the latest edition of @pqmagazine.bsky.social 👇

Look forward to being back in Tameside in May to speak at Tameside Local Studies & Archives #Economica 📗 www.tamesidecorrespondent.co.uk/2025/12/13/l... #Economica

“Victoria Bateman’s #Economica reads not so much like a history as a powerful narrative of forensic archaeology — one that excavates the contributions of women, and returns them to the pages of economic history”. Huge thanks @umamahadevan.bsky.social @thehindu.com: www.thehindu.com/books/the-in...

A fun extract from my interview with Tom Hodgkinson, editor of the Idler magazine, in which we discuss the demonisation of women and money in ancient Athens, equal pay in ancient Persia and women’s leading role in the Peasants’ Revolt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU6z...

I loved hearing my Grandmother's stories of work, life, love and travel. So when I met economic historian Victoria Bateman, @vnbateman.bsky.social, the author of “Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power,” naturally I had to tell her all about my Grandma. medium.com/@josieglz/a-...

In conversation with Harriet MacMillan about my new book #Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth & Power (@headlinebooks.bsky.social) 📗 at Glasgow’s #AyeWrite Literary Festival today, answering the question: What can women do in response to the current backlash?

‘A central theme [of @vnbateman.bsky.social’s book] is that the trajectory of gender equality more closely resembles a roller-coaster than a straight line. There are places (Egypt, Iran, India) where women have fewer freedoms than they did many centuries ago.’ Great set of reviews on.ft.com/4olyOut

Delighted that the FT have reviewed my new book, #Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth & Power. The reviewer writes “Economica is an epic…[&] important retelling of global economic history that puts women at the centre”. Out now @headlinebooks.bsky.social @hachetteuk.bsky.social #EconHist
