The allure of the city is powerful but not universally accessible. For many women it can be
exclusionary exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking Morag Rose shows how
women can and do claim their place in the public space. Setting off to explore cities and
towns across Britain she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to
the wider resonances of women's rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes. Craving
connection and comradeship she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking
celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance. By
experiencing the pleasures and pains of pedestrian exploration she shows us how to reconnect
with and become enchanted by our streets.
