Why Women Won by Claudia Goldin

The next RFBerlin Annual Public Lecture is organized in collaboration with Humboldt University. We welcome Nobel Prize laureate Claudia Goldin on “Why Women Won”. How we moved from a world in which discrimination against women was not recognized as an issue, in which women were routinely and legally fired when they were married or when they became pregnant, and in which they could not always pick their own name legally, to the world we now live in. A Q&A session will follow.

Claudia Goldin is the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University and holds the Lee and Ezpeleta Professorship of Arts & Sciences at Harvard University.

She was the director of the NBER’s Development of the American Economy program from 1989 to 2017 and is a co-director of the NBER’s Gender in the Economy group. Goldin was awarded the 2023 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes.”

As an economic historian and a labor economist, Goldin’s research covers a wide range of topics, including the female labor force, the gender gap in earnings, income inequality, technological change, education, and immigration. Most of her research interprets the present through the lens of the past and explores the origins of current issues of concern.
