Article Review: Geography and Gender McDowell's "Space, place and gender relations" represents a literature review of theoretical and empirical work in the field of feminist geography from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The author notes at the outset that this task is complicated by both the growing size of the field as well as its increasing fragmentation into diverse, and often conflicting, areas of theoretical and empirical research. This article is the second part of a two-article history of feminist geography in which the first article focused on rationalist/empiricist feminist geography, while the present article focuses on anti-rational feminist standpoint theory and the post-rational/postmodern feminist geography.
