Gender and Rural Geography cover

Gender and Rural Geography explores the relationship between gender and rurality. Feminist theory, gender relations and sexuality have all become central concerns of geographical research and significant progress has been made in terms of our understanding of both the broad relationship between gender and geography and the more detailed differences in the lives of men and women over space. The development of feminist perspectives and the study of gender relations in geography, has, however, been fairly uneven over the discipline. Both theoretical and empirical work on gender has tended to be concentrated within social and cultural geography. Moreover it has been directed largely towards the urban sphere.

"a welcome and timely contribution to the literature on gender and rural geography"  

"...it is the first single-authored text that provides a detailed commentary on the rich and varied debates in rural gender studies thus far"                                                           

"The book is well written and neatly structured"                                                         

"...an invaluable resource for researchers, graduate students and undergraduates alike"   

"The 'internal logic'...of each chapter  is particularly helpful for undergraduates who rarely read a book from cover to cover, as is its friendly and digestible writing style"              

"These lucid and perceptive syntheses are particularly useful for undergraduate students endeavouring to grasp the historical trajectories of geographical subdisciplines"         

"...an interesting and stimulating read which has both theoretical rigour and empirical diversity"
