We live in the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female bodies. There is little consideration for woman as mothers, workers or carers. The urban streets often are a place of threats rather than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of women even more difficult. What would a metropolis for working women look like? A city of friendships beyond Sex and the City. A transit system that accommodates mothers with strollers on the school run. A public space with enough toilets. A place where women can walk without harassment. In The Feminist City, through history, personal experience and popular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities are built into our cities, homes, and neighbourhoods. And offers an alternative vision of the feminist city. Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism, and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new vantage points, laying out a feminist intersectional approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and care-full cities together. 650 0 $a Urban women. 650 0 $a Urban policy. 650 0 $a Sociology, Urban. 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 0 $a Feminist theory. 650 0 $a Feminist geography. 650 0 $a Urbanization. 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=768BFB9413BB11ED9C55A27642ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
