The book summarizes the results of field research by Canadian geographer and urbanist Leslie Kern, who deals with pressing issues of women's lives in the modern city. The author shows how the structure of the city - from its layout to the norms and customs regulating the communication of its residents - has turned into a space of gender struggle. Describing her own experiences of motherhood, friendship, work and activism, Leslie Kern proposes an intersectional feminist approach to urban planning and believes that this will help shape the next generation of urbanism.
