If Women Counted (1988) by Marilyn Waring, former New Zealand Member of Parliament, is an influential[1] book in academic feminism, political economy and feminist economics. The book argues that mainstream economics does not account for women's work, nor for the value of nature. The book made a significant contribution by making the analysis of this topic known to a large audience.[2]

Originally published by Harper & Row as If Women Counted with an introduction by Gloria Steinem in 1988, it has since also been published by Macmillan under the same title, and by Allen & Unwin and University of Toronto Press as Counting for nothing. The book remains most widely known under the title If Women Counted. The book has been translated into several languages.

The 1995 documentary film Who's Counting? Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics is largely based on the book.
