Gender, Household, Employment

Description

Written by some of Canada's top researchers in the field, the articles in this collection introduce a new chapter in feminist literature, focusing on women and their experiences in Canadian urban settings and illustrating the importance of gender in the development of urban areas. While the articles represent diverse approaches and methodologies, they all point out that the specific needs of women are not being met and that women must create opportunities for democratic participation in the institutions that affect their lives.

Editorial Reviews

This book is an extremely welcome addition to the growing multi-disciplinary literature on gender and urban environments.

— The Canadian Geographer

I would recommend that this text be ordered, read, and recommended to students since it touches on interesting and important issues and generates some new theoretical questions ... The last chapter by the two editors is an interesting exploration of the research consequences of the desire by researchers in the field both to understand and to change current affairs.  Part of this discussion addresses important questions of feminist methodologies and the need to develop new ways of doing research.
