Abstract
This paper outlines the contribution made by Locke to the economic analysis of the status of women. Locke's contribution, it is argued, is fundamental to the development of the economic discipline's analysis of women's role in society. His work both undermined the theological determinism that had previously dominated intellectual debate and also laid open the path down which subsequent economic analysis was to progress.
