Summary:

Massey, a leading feminist geographer, develops a notion of spatiality as the product of intersecting social relations. She traces the development of ideas about the social structure of space and place, and relates these concepts to issues of gender and various debates within feminism. A great companion book to Gillian Rose's Feminism and Geography (Minnesota 1993).
