Abstract: It should be recognized that women in long-distance commuting in China may suffer from unequal treatment. This study visualized gender differences and uneven reactions of women in long-distance commuting in Suzhou, China. We speculate on the potential spatial impact of employment equity among female long-distance commuters in Suzhou. The cartogram revealed that women’s average long-distance commuting is longer, and their work destinations are mainly concentrated in Kunshan and the central city, where international companies gather.
