FEMINIST CITY - LESLIE KERN GEBUNDEN

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.0What 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.0Taking 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.
