Description
Feminism and Geography: The Limits of Geographical Knowledge by Gillian Rose explores the dominance of masculinity in contemporary geographical discourses. Drawing on feminist theories about power, knowledge, and subjectivity, this book examines the intersection of these concepts with influential approaches in recent geography.
The author discusses how the discipline's masculinism has structured what counts as legitimate geographical knowledge, and argues that a more nuanced understanding of the spatial imagination can be found in feminist discussions of location and place. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the politics of space and challenges traditional notions of masculinity.
