A Companion to Feminist Geography

Mona Domosh

Why do women and men tend to work in different jobs, in different ways, and in different spaces? Which is more "masculine"--the city or the suburbs? Why is nature often represented in feminine form? This thought-provoking book uses the lens of gender to provide an illuminating new perspective on the geography of everyday life. Domosh and Seager show how notions of maleness and femaleness have influenced our built environment, the locations in which we invest meaning, and the ways we live, work, travel, and explore. From the arrangement of furniture in Victorian homes to the movements of refugees over contemporary borders, the book explores gender patterns and roles across cultures and historical periods. It is lavishly illustrated with line drawings, photographs, and maps.

Silent Spring is a watershed moment in the history of environmentalism, credited with launching the modern environmental movement. In synthesizing a jumble of scientific and medical information into a coherent argument, Carson successfully challenged major chemical industries and the idea that modern societies could and should exert mastery over nature at any cost. Her critique remains salient today. This book provides the first in-depth analysis, contextualisation and overview of Silent Spring, a critical work in the history of environmentalism, surveying its lasting impact on the environmentalist movement in the last fifty years.

Silent Spring is a watershed moment in the history of environmentalism. Credited with launching the modern environmental movement, it provoked the ban on DDT in the US ten years later and it has been an inspiration for feminist health movements. Yet the shift in public health paradigms that Silent Spring enjoined is possibly its most important legacy; one that is foundational for changing the ways in which we think about the health effects of the chemical immersion that constitutes modern life. In synthesizing a jumble of scientific and medical information into a coherent, readable argument about health and environment, Carson successfully challenged major chemical industries and the prevailing paradigm that modern societies could and should exert mastery over nature at any cost. This book provides an in-depth analysis and contextualisation of Silent Spring. It also surveys the lasting impact the text has had on the environmentalist movement in the last fifty years. Carson's Silent Spring is the first book to provide a full overview of what is a seminal work in the history of environmentalism.

Un atlas feminista brillantemente diseñado y galardonado que ilustra cómo viven las mujeres en los distintos continentes y culturas. Un análisis global, accesible y actualizado de los aspectos clave que afectan a las mujeres de hoy, los avances conseguidos y el camino aún por recorrer. ¡Demos a las mujeres la misma atención y análisis que concedemos a los hombres en el mapa! La situación de las mujeres está más en el punto de mira que nunca: hablamos de igualdad, de brecha salarial, de derechos... pero ¿sabemos realmente cuál es la situación de la mujer en la actualidad? Detrás de los grandes titulares, se esconde el día a día de millones de mujeres que luchan por hacer un mundo mejor y más justo, aunque todavía quedan muchos retos por luchar: - 520 millones de mujeres no saben leer. - El 47% de las niñas indias se casan antes de cumplir los 18 años. - Una mujer muere asesinada por su pareja cada tres días en Francia y cada 30 horas en Argentina. - En 2018, Islandia fue el primer país en prohibir por ley la brecha salarial. - No es hasta 2030, que los niños y las niñas accederán a la educación a partes iguales. Este libro es, sin duda, un referente imprescindible para todo el que quiera conocer más acerca de la situación de la mujer en el mundo, con datos irrefutables y fuentes objetivas. Apto para todos los públicos, nos invita a curiosear, pero, sobre todo, a reflexionar y participar en un cambio que debe promoverse entre todos.
