"Feminist Spatial Theory"

Feminist Spatial Theory examines how gender shapes and is shaped by the ways spaces are organized and experienced. It explores how physical environments, cities, and social spaces can reflect gender inequalities, influence behavior, and reinforce stereotypes. The theory highlights how power dynamics and societal norms create spaces that favor certain genders over others, and it advocates for designing and transforming environments to promote equality and challenge traditional gender roles. Essentially, it links gender discussions with the study of physical space to understand and address spatial inequalities.
