Book excerpt: Concentrating upon contemporary women photographers who have used the theme of the city in their work, this volume provides a challenging viewpoint on notions of gender, space and representation. Engendering the City looks at the ways in which women have negotiated with the powerful tropes of modernism, notions of the body and embodiment, and the concept of the pedestrian, to form new models of seeing and knowing. Feminist reconceptions of space are combined with innovative representational strategies which reveal the many ways in which women can engender the city.
