Items related to Thresholds in Feminist Geography
This innovative collection explores the concept of space as it relates to feminist studies. Utilizing a range of theoretical perspectives, a distinguished group of international scholars crosses over the "thresholds" of difference, methodology, and representation that challenge feminist geography.
The contributors extend our understanding of spatial connections, including the role of social space in the construction of gendered and sexed identities, the need to sensitize feminist methodology to "place" contexts, and the importance of examining representations as sociopolitical and spatial artifacts. This volume has broad interdisciplinary appeal while pointing in specific directions for new research areas, new thresholds, within the discipline of geography.

Review:
Feminist geography at its best . . . engaging, insightful, theoretically sound while grounded in the realities of women's lives. (Joni Seager)
I recommend it as an introduction to feminist geography for feminist scholars outside of the discipline, as well as for those within geography—including graduate students—who are new to feminist approaches. (Professional Geographer)
No matter where you place yourself in the discipline--feminist, nonfeminist, or antifeminist, you have to look at this colection. It is a landmark volume in the history of geographic thought and incredibly useful in understanding the positionings of women in the economy. . . . I am impressed with the freshness of the collection. Each chapter in its own way shows how theory is grounded in women's everyday lives. (Moss, Pamela Economic Geography)
The essays in Thresholds in Feminist Geography are uniformly polished, and for an edited collection it is unusually even in terms of presentational quality, showcasing ccurrent research in feminist geography to good effect. (Bondi, Liz Signs: Journal Of Women In Culture And Society)
An exciting, often provocative, and sometimes paradoxical collection that showcases directions in feminist geographic research. . . . A superb resource for scholars and students interested in contemporary directions in feminist geography. (Vera Chouinard Annals Of The Aag)
This collection of essays confirms the importance of feminist approaches to geography and the importance of geography to feminist critiques of social life. It will be a stimulating and useful text for readers both new to and familiar with feminist geography. (Rose, Gillian)
An ispiring collection that brings together much of the most innovative scholarship on identity, politics, and place. (Place And Environment)
