Description

Geography is a subject which throughout its history has been dominated by men. It was men who undertook 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 an examination of the masculinism of contemporary geographical discourse. It is not a study of the geography of women, of their spatial patterns and perceptions, but a consideration of the gender of the discourse of geography. The book draws on the work of many feminist theorists, identifies different kinds of masculinity which structure geography as a discipline and presents a critique of some of the major strands of current geography.
