1st Edition

Routledge Handbook of Gender and Feminist Geographies

    This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary gender and feminist geographies in an international and multi-disciplinary context. It features 48 new contributions from both experienced and emerging scholars, artists and activists who critically review and appraise current spatial politics. Each chapter advances the future development of feminist geography and gender studies, as well as empirical evidence of changing relationships between gender, power, place and space. Following an introduction by the Editors, the handbook presents original work organized into four parts which engage with relevant issues including violence, resistance, agency and desire:

    • Establishing feminist geographies
    • Placing feminist geographies
    • Engaging feminist geographies
    • Doing feminist geographies

    The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Feminist Geographies will be an essential reference work for scholars interested in feminist geography, gender studies and geographical thought.

    "The four parts together provide an extensive overview of the conceptual, theoretical and methodological contributions of feminist geographies to a multitude of societal issues at various scales. The handbook is strongest when chapters introduce a topic or approach and illustrate it with a research project, such as the entries men and masculinities, the nation, and GIS. These chapters offer conceptual and practical understandings of key ideas." - Sander van Lenen, Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie
