'''Jayshree Sengupta''' (October 9, 1943 — April 19, 2020) was a noted Indian economic journalist and author. Her work focused primarily on the Indian economy and women’s issues in development. She was especially concerned with the lack of social and economic recognition of women’s work.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ghosh |first=Jayati |date=2020-05-02 |title=Jayshree Sengupta Represented the Gracious Qualities That Have Become So Rare |url=https://thewire.in/women/jayshree-sengupta-obituary |access-date=2021-06-06 |website=[[The Wire (India)|The Wire]]}}</ref><br />
