Abstract: This article examines the ways in which spaces for feminism in geography have been constructed. As with most disciplines, the increased visibility of feminist approaches in geography is related to the status of women, so, in this article, the authors briefly review trends related to women's status. The status of women in the discipline reflects the masculinist orientation of the discipline and its traditional focus on exploration of far-off places. Feminist geographers' fundamental concern, however, is with the social construction of space and place and the ways gender is implicated in those constructions. The authors examine theoretical perspectives and empirical examples within feminist geography as they are used to understand the interrelations of space, place, and gender. The authors demonstrate the implications of this approach for feminist praxis in research and teaching.
