My main research interests have been modern economic, social and gender history and, during later years, biographical gender research. My dissertation and several related articles and edited books focused on agrarian modernisation, the gender division of labour in family farming, gender construction of women´s work in statistics and agricultural economic theory, as well as the gender construction of property rights, during the first part of the twentieth century. My recent publications include a biographical study about the first and only female economist in Sweden before the 1970s, Karin Kock, and a co-edited book (with Christina Florin) of life stories where eleven female professors in history and social sciences write about the creation and establishment of gender research and education in their respective disciplinary fields in Sweden. Finally, during my stay as a Research Director in the Nordic Gender Institute in Oslo, I led a comparative research program, with more than twenty researchers from the five Nordic Countries, about gender and the division of power in politics and business in the Nordic countries.
