Feminist geography at its best . . . engaging, insightful, theoretically sound while grounded in the realities of women's lives.
Joni Seager, University of Vermont I recommend it as an introduction to feminist geography for feminist scholars outside of the discipline, as well as for those within geography—including graduate students—who are new to feminist approaches.

... Read moreNo matter where you place yourself in the discipline—feminist, nonfeminist, or antifeminist, you have to look at this colection. It is a landmark volume in the history of geographic thought and incredibly useful in understanding the positionings of women in the economy. . . . I am impressed with the freshness of the collection. Each chapter in its own way shows how theory is grounded in women's everyday lives.
