Description
The first book on British urban geography to concentrate specifically on gender issues, it comprises six chapters on the theme of gender and the contemporary city and presents original material on women's urban experiences as well as furthering the debate on gender issues within geography. The book begins by examining from a theoretical perspective the relation between gender and the changing spatial, temporal and political organization of the urban environment. The authors then illustrate the constraints that women encounter in different aspects of their lives. It should be of interest to students of geography, urban and regional planning, urban studies, urban sociology and women's studies.
