A glossary of feminist geography

In recent years the academic study of the ways in which genders and geographies are mutually constituted has burgeoned.

Much of the material commonly used in its teaching is interdisciplinary, often exposing students for the first time to a wide range of terms and theory.

This book aims to provide full and accurate descriptions of terms commonly used in geographical debates about gender relations.

It does not confine itself to short definitions but allows sufficient space to develop an adequate sense of the complexity of the terms covered.

Explicitly aimed at geographers, it includes over 400 entries covering key concepts and theoretical terms with four levels of entry, from approximately 1500 words for the most important terms, to 50 words for the least significant.

Also included is a comprehensive bibliography encouraging readers to explore other texts and come to their own conclusions.
