A review by writerrhiannon
Feminist City: Claiming Space in a Man-Made World by Leslie Kern
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
In all of my gender studies I don't believe I have ever heard the term "feminist geography" before reading this book. I loved the analysis and thought-provoking concepts I had previously not considered such as how (and by who) a city is set up and sustained, city layout as social control, gentrification vs "revitalization", as well as new thoughts about street harassment, affordability, sustainability, and accessibility.
