Geography is a subject which throughout its history has been
dominated by men; men have undertaken the heroic explorations which
form the mythology of its foundation, men have written most of its
texts and, as many feminist geographers have remarked, men's
interests have structured what counts as legitimate geographical
knowledge. This book offers a sustained examination of the
masculinism of contemporary geographical discourses.
Drawing on the work of feminist theories about the intersection
of power, knowledge and subjectivity, different aspects of the
discipline's masculinism are discussed in a series of essays which
bring influential approaches in recent geography together with
feminist accounts of the space of the everyday, the notion of a
sense of place and views of landscape. In the final chapter, the
spatial imagery of a variety of feminists is examined in order to
argue that the geographical imagination implicit in feminist
discussions of the politics of location is one example of a
geography which does not deny difference in the name of a universal
masculinity.
