jisaacstone reviewed Feminist City by Leslie Kern
More of a personal account than a guide for city planners
3 stars
My expectation was off, and probably colored my enjoyment. I was hoping for practical advice for creating a city which is "feminist". This book is not that. It is an introduction to the philosophical framework of feminist geography, specifically about cities, and more specifically about the author's experiences in North American cities.
The most interesting thought from the book was about how our cities - roads, zoning and transit - are designed for single origin-destination work commutes. This prioritizes the privileged.
