Thresholds in Feminist Geography : Difference, Methodology, Representation

Exploring the concept of space as it relates to feminist studies, this book provides different perspectives on the "thresholds" of difference, methodology, and representation that challenge feminist geography.

The essays here extend the understanding of spatial connections, including the role of social space in the construction of gendered and sexed identities, the need to sensitize feminist methodology to "place" contexts, and the importance of examining representations both as sociopolitical and as spatial artefacts.Each section of the book includes an introduction offering a conceptual guide to the essays it contains, and the introduction itself provides an overview of feminist geography.
