Though each of the essays can be read for its own distinctive contribution, the anthology as a whole is designed to provide a mosaic of feminist geography for both scholars and students. Within sections on contexts, work, city, body, environment, and state and nation, geographers from around the world consider such topics as anti-racist feminism in geography, the Istanbul clothing industry as an example of the changing role of female labor in economic expansion and decline, daycare services provision for working women in Japan, transnational sexualities and Trinidad, reframing the spatial context of local forest livelihoods, and virility and violation in the US War on Terrorism.
