Taking advantage of the large attendance at a panel organized by [[Diana Strassman]] entitled "Can Feminism Find a Home in Economics?" Jean Shackelford and April Aerni invited members of the audience to sign up to start a new network with an explicitly feminist slant. Two years later, this network was transformed into the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE).}}</ref> While the majority of members are economists, it is open "not only to female and male economists but to academics from other fields, as well as activists who are not academics" and currently has over 600 members in 64 countries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iaffe.org/pages/about-iaffe/history/ |title=History |publisher=International Association for Feminist Economics |access-date=2012-06-20 |archive-date=2019-05-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190510115457/http://www.iaffe.org/pages/about-iaffe/history/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Although its founding members were mostly based in the US, a majority of IAFFE's current members are based outside of the US.
