Description

Capturing the untold and numerous ways in which women and maps interacted during the Progressive Era (1890-1930), this book uses three historical examples from North America to argue that maps were essential for women not only to find their way in the world but also to construct and communicate their own world views. Long overlooked, these historic examples of women-generated mapping represent the adoption of cartography and geography as part of women's work and explores the implications of women's use of this technology in creating and presenting information to their own ends. It will be essential reading for those working in Geography, Gender Studies, Women's Studies, Politics and History.
