ABSTRACT
This conclusion gives concluding thoughts on key ideas discussed in the previous chapters of this book. The book addresses the comprehensive scope and dynamism of feminist geography. It focuses on the body as a site upon which social, cultural, and political meanings are inscribed, understood, and challenged. The chapter explores the way in which our everyday spaces are imbued with gendered meaning. Such activities as walking down the street, riding the bus to work, decorating our homes, going shopping, going to a baseball game, taking a weekend getaway, and participating in an online forum are all moments in which our identities as gendered beings are being produced. The book develops the economic dimensions of these social identities that influence how people engage in livelihoods to support themselves, their families, and their communities. It explores how an array of power relations shapes our relationships with the environment within the field of feminist political ecology.
