Full Description
"A kaleidoscopic presentation of the riches of feminist geography; revealing at every turn the breadth of its theoretical perspectives, the variety of its objects of inquiry, and the reach of its methodologies. At once poetic, polemical, and rigorous, A Companion to Feminist Geography cross-cuts contemporary feminist research at all scales with historiographies of feminist thought in the field. With chapters by a truly international group of authors, this anthology inscribes feminist geography at the heart of the discipline as it makes the vitality of geographic thought vivid, not only for other fields, but for a range of political movements as well."
Cindi Katz, City University of New York
