ABSTRACT
As an academic expression of a social movement, feminist geography is selfconsciously political, challenging the gender equity of the existing social order and disciplinary knowledge and practice. Though its visions may be contested, marginalized and, at times, wavering, over the two decades of its existence it has become international in scope and constructed more complex conceptualizations. It incorporates diverse theoretical positions and methodologies while continuing to investigate the relationships between space, place and gender relations, women’s world views and constructions of identity, and their behaviour as social agents.
