Feminist City: A Field Guide for Urban Dwellers

A book on a new generation of urbanism.

The book summarizes the results of field studies by Canadian geographer and urbanist Leslie Kern, who addresses current issues in women's lives in the modern city. The author demonstrates how the structure of... the city—from its planning to the norms and customs regulating 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 advocates for the application of an intersectional feminist approach to urban planning, believing this will contribute to the formation of a new generation of urbanism.
