Space, Place, and Gender

This volume brings together Doreen Massey's key writings on three areas central to a range of disciplines: space and social relations; place and identity; and space, place and gender. It traces the development of ideas about the social nature of space and place and the relation of both to issues of gender and debates within feminism. Massey suggests that it is debates in these areas which have been crucial in bringing geography to the centre of social-science thinking in recent years, and this book includes writings that have been fundamental to that process.
