The BBC's History Extra Channel has published a listing of one hundred women cited for their notable contributions to the worlds of science, politics and much else besides. Linda Yueh was asked to nominate ten women in the arena of business and economics and this link takes you to her selection and some commentary on each.

I was pleased nominate historical women in business/economics who influenced the field. After the public vote, Joan Robinson from @greateconomists ranked 70th.
