Feminist City is an ongoing experiment in living differently,
living better, and living more justly in an urban world. We live in
the city of men. Our public spaces are not designed for female
bodies. There is little consideration for woman as mothers, workers
or carers. The urban streets often are a place of threats rather
than community. Gentrification has made the everyday lives of women
even more difficult. What would a metropolis for working women look
like? A city of friendships beyond Sex and the City. A transit
system that accommodates mothers with strollers on the school run.
A public space with enough toilets. A place where women can walk
without harassment. In The Feminist City, through history, personal
experience and popular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden
in plain sight: the social inequalities are built into our cities,
homes, and neighbourhoods. And offers an alternative vision of the
feminist city. Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism,
and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new
vantage points, laying out a feminist intersectional approach to
urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also our best
hope for shaping a new urban future. It is time to dismantle what
we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more
just, sustainable, and care-full cities together.
