Feminist City

The book summarizes the results of field research by Canadian geographer and urbanist Leslie Kern, who addresses current issues of women's lives in the modern city. The author shows how the structure of the city—from its planning to the norms... and customs that regulate the interactions of its residents—has become a space for gender struggle. By describing her own experiences of motherhood, friendship, work, and activism, Leslie Kern suggests applying an intersectional feminist approach to urban planning and believes that this will contribute to the formation of a new generation of urban studies.
