This book offers a specifically feminist perspective on women s lives in contemporary cities; one which the editors hope will sustain and influence women s ways of being in those cities. The contributors offer an array of knowledge about women s place and women s places in cities today. The book acknowledges women s positive as well as negative experiences in their roles as workers, mothers, housewives, shoppers and members of social networks. Women are not seen as passive victims of capitalism or of male violence, although the realities of exploitation and the fear of crime are recognized. The book offers an original and important contribution to critical feminist commentary on women s experiences of living in and using the built environment. The editors have brought together authors from a variety of backgrounds: town planning, transport, housing, architecture and social sciences. The book stresses the multiplicity of ways in which women experience urban life, discussing positive aspects of the choices that some women now enjoy, as well as the experience of disadvantage and oppression. The diversity of the authors backgrounds and experience gives the text both, richness and depth.
