Geography & Feminism

How have feminist perspectives shaped theory and practice in geography?

Excerpt: "Feminist geography now concentrates on gendered identities within a post-structural, post-colonial, cultural theoretical framework, studying gender relations across races, ages, ethnicities, religions, sexualities and nationalities. Most recently of all, the discipline has undergone further internal-critique, calling for more intensive study of relations and equality between women themselves. It is for these reasons I believe 'feminist geographies' have had a huge ideological impact on geographical theory and practice over recent decades and will continue to do so for years to come"
