Summary:

Part of the Macmillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks series on gender studies, this book examines the correspondence between people and space, the ways in which gender, gender norms, and gendered identities are constructed and deconstructed, and the multiple ways gendered bodies make, occupy, reclaim, and discover space in a mutually constituting relationship.
