Andrew C., Milroy B.M. Life Spaces: Gender, Household, Employment

Vancouver: UBC Press, 1988. — 214 p. — ISBN10: 0774802952; ISBN13: 9780774802956.Written by some of Canada's top researchers in the field, the articles in this collection introduce a new chapter in feminist literature, focusing on women and their experiences in Canadian urban settings and illustrating the importance of gender in the development of urban areas. While the articles represent diverse approaches and methodologies, they all point out that the specific needs of women are not being met and that women must create opportunities for democratic participation in the institutions that affect their lives.Caroline Andrew and Beth Moore Milroy
