Royal Geographical Society (with IBG): the heart of geography

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers
Women and Geography

Launched to celebrate International Women’s Day, the first virtual issue of Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, on 'Women and Geography', is now available free online.

Reflecting the importance and diversity of feminist research within the discipline, this virtual issue brings together a range of landmark articles in the field. Key themes include research on feminist historiographies of geography; feminist theory and methodology in geography; and substantive areas of ongoing concern for women, including geographies of work, fear, domestic violence and the family.

Nine articles, published from 1991 to 2008, form the main contents of the virtual issue. Several of these articles include links to others published in Transactions that address women, travel and the history of geography; feminist methodology; gender and work; geographies of home; and family and relatedness.
 

I hope that you will be able to read the papers in the virtual issue, and recommend it to colleagues and students.

With best wishes
Alison Blunt
Editor, Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers
