Women are the exclusive focus of the 38th volume of Geographers.
For the first time in the serial's history, the entire volume is
devoted to important work of distinguished female geographers,
amply demonstrating how these scholars' professional lives enrich
the discipline's history. It also illustrates how reading and
writing their biographies not only expands our understanding of
geography's past, but points to its more diverse future. The
collection includes biographies of Doreen Massey, winner of
geography's 'Nobel prize', the prix Vautrin-Lud, for her remarkable
contribution to geography and neighbouring disciplines which
discovered the importance of space through her work; Helen Wallis,
geographer and historian of cartography who for many years had
charge of the UK's foremost collection of maps; Alice
Saunier-Seite, who applied her geographical training and formidable
energy to teaching and educational reform in France; Isabel
Margarida Andre, who lived through a turbulent political period in
her native Portugal and meticulously investigated its effect on
women and political geography; and the many women who helped to
create the UK's first Geography department - the University of
Oxford's, School of Geography - including Fanny Herbertson, Nora
MacMunn, Marjorie Sweeting, Mary Marshall, Barbara Kennedy and
other women geographers who are memorialised in a group article.
