Gendering the City provides a significant contribution to urban studies, balancing critiques of domination with analyses of how groups and individuals have actively carved out spaces that resist and reconfigure dominant gender regimes. The collection draws on a wide range of empirical work, conducted in both Canada and the United States, to explore the diversity of women s experiences. It is both grounded and provocative.--Ann Forsyth, Harvard University Graduate School of Design An important and useful collection with an impressive mix of senior and junior scholars. The gendered-boundaries concept puts the arguments in fresh perspective, and the material on African-American women and indigenous women is a welcome addition.--Susan E. Clarke, University of Colorado
