SUMMARY:Women Write the City: A Conversation with Lauren Elkin and Leslie K
 ern
DESCRIPTION:In Feminist City\, through history\, personal experience and po
 pular culture Leslie Kern exposes what is hidden in plain sight: the socia
 l inequalities built into our cities\, homes\, and neighborhoods. Kern off
 ers an alternative vision of the feminist city. Taking on fear\, motherhoo
 d\, friendship\, activism\, and the joys and perils of being alone\, Kern 
 maps the city from new vantage points\, laying out an intersectional femin
 ist approach to urban histories and proposes that the city is perhaps also
  our best hope for shaping a new urban future.\n\nLeslie Kern is an associ
 ate professor of geography and environment and director of women's and gen
 der studies at Mount Allison University. She is the author of Sex and the 
 Revitalized City: Gender\, Condominium Development\, and Urban Citizenship
 .\n\nand\n\nPart cultural meander\, part memoir\, Lauren Elkin's Flâneuse
  takes us on a distinctly cosmopolitan jaunt that begins in New York\, whe
 re Elkin grew up\, and transports us to Paris via Venice\, Tokyo\, and Lon
 don\, all cities in which she's lived. We are shown the paths beaten by su
 ch flâneuses as the cross-dressing nineteenth-century novelist George San
 d\, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle\, the wartime correspondent Martha Ge
 llhorn\, and the writer Jean Rhys. With tenacity and insight\, Elkin creat
 es a mosaic of what urban settings have meant to women\, charting through 
 literature\, art\, history\, and film the sometimes exhilarating\, sometim
 es fraught relationship that women have with the metropolis.\n\nLauren Elk
 in's essays have appeared in many publications\, including The New York Ti
 mes Book Review\, frieze\, and The Times Literary Supplement\, and she is 
 a contributing editor at The White Review.
