Geographies of New Femininities examines the emergence of
contemporary constructions of femininity in a global context. It
asks whether these femininities are new and suggests that current
celebrations of diversity in the lived experience and performance
of women's identities are largely Euro-centric. Through four
in-depth case studies Geographies of New Femininities illustrates
how constructions of femininities across the world reflect gender
inequalities embedded within global/local geographies of social and
economic change. The analysis brings together key themes in
geography and feminist studies, showing how globalisation and the
fracturing of identities are influencing research on gender.
Throughout the book the authors explore spaces of opportunity and
oppression for women and highlight the geographies associated with
the negotiation of gender identities. Geographies of New
Femininities moves between empirical and theoretical debate using
first hand accounts to work through methodological issues relating
to gender and geography. It is deliberately written in an
accessible style to encourage students to engage with up-to-date
research on gender.
