Feminist Cartography

Feminist cartography is an approach to map-making that emphasizes diverse perspectives, especially those of marginalized communities, including women. It seeks to challenge traditional maps, which often reflect dominant viewpoints and power structures. By incorporating personal experiences, local knowledge, and social issues, feminist cartography aims to create maps that represent the realities of all people, not just the privileged. This practice can reveal inequalities and advocate for social change, encouraging us to think critically about how we see and navigate the world.
