3.5!
Did not know that there is a whole area of study that looks directly at the way women exist inside a physical space, but so happy to learn it's called feminist geography and it's incredibly important and relevant to the day-to-day activities of all people. Much of the information was not necessarily new to me when taken separatedly, but it was very enlightening to see all issues linked and brought together under one single mode of looking at urban spaces, when inhabited by women.
This book is really just what it promises: a feminist look at the city, how it is now and what can change and what history can push us forward to better alternatives.

very informative and a good introduction to a topic i’m hoping to read more on. going into this i didn’t know that kern grew up around and lived in toronto, and it was interesting to read her firsthand experiences and analyses of the city.

Fascinating insight into urban geography and the choices that are made that impact women. Intersectional too
