In the last two decades, historians have increasingly sought to
understand how environments, 'built' and otherwise, architectural
surroundings, landscapes, and conceptual 'places' and 'spaces' have
affected the nature and scope of political power, cultural
production and social experience . The essays in this collection
expand upon this already rich field of inquiry by combining an
analytical approach sensitive to questions of gender with an
exploration of ideas of political space. The volume demonstrates
how the gendered and political meanings of space-be that space
domestic or public, rural or urban, real or imagined, or a
combination of all these and more-are fashioned through the
movement of historical actors through space and time. Whether in
delineating the gendered and politicized space of the pulpit; the
sickroom; the Irish farmyard; the London suffrage atelier; the
domestic space created by the wireless; the lesbian 'scene' of
rural Canada; the eighteenth-century ladies' 'closet'; or the
public space within the 'public history' of historic houses, the
volume demonstrates how the meanings of these spaces are not fixed,
but are challenged and reformulated. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Women's History Review.
