This chapter aims to study how being a woman still influences, in economics, career paths, the choice of research topicsresearch topics, the presence in certain networks and consequently the visibility/marginality and impact on the scientific community of reference. Beyond the usual analyses of the low female component among academic economists in the United States or the United Kingdom, the chapter analyses the data collected through a cognitive questionnaire distributed among the members of the Italian Economic Society (SIE), to provide a taxonomy of Italian women economists, in terms of both training and the research topics mainly developed, verifying how the perception of ‘discrimination’ among Italian economists is sensitive to gender.
