What 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 'Feminist City', through history, personal experience and popular culture, Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight - the social inequalities that are built into cities, homes, and neighbourhoods - and offers an alternative vision of the feminist city. Taking 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 proposing a new urban future: just, sustainable, and care-full.
