Abstract: The representations of women in the purchasing process are often polarized between the shopping craze and the binding domestic activity. These gendered views do not reflect the more intricate aspects accounting for the deed of purchase. This study analyzes the socio-cultural representations of women and shopping as well as women's imagination while shopping in the city, in other words, the "imageries" of women, drawing from academic sources as well as from popular culture. It aims at approaching women's complex, and often twofold relationship as regards the places and acts of purchase in the contemporary urban context.
