Description
Map Worlds: A History of Women in Cartography explores the often-overlooked contributions of women to the world of map-making. From 16th-century Low Countries to contemporary Brazil, this book charts the journey of women cartographers, examining their experiences and challenges.
The author delves into the history of women in technical fields, including cartography-related organizations, and outlines the social justice themes that have driven many female map-makers. This includes creating maps to record painful tribal memories or remedy social injustices, as well as challenging traditional perspectives on continents and the lunar landscape.
