Gendered Geographies:
- Urbanization is a gendered process
o Examples: Male statues, male names, etc.
- Main Point:
o Women and men experience cities differently (so their representation in cities
differs)
▪ Therefore, if we dont ask about gender, then were missing a huge chunk of
the city
- Relations between genders in cities is most defined by private and public spaces
o Common associations with space and gender
o The terms line up hierarchal-y
▪ Those on the right side of the table are more highly valued
Geography of Women:
- Focus on gender inequality:
o Due to separation of home and paid work (how are they separated in the city and
what are the effects of this)
o Spatial constraints limiting peoples mobility on gendered lines
- City as a site of resistance of gender oppression:
o How do cities regulate gender and overcoming these traditional roles
- Overtime, urban geographers began to complicate geographies of gender
o Women are not a homogenous group (not all confined to the suburbs)
o Started paying attention to intertwined patriarchy and capitalism
- Main Point:
o Started because women realized that they werent being recognized and then it
started to become complicated
