This is a fascinating text, which yields valuable insight into the theorisation of space, time, and gender. Dorothy Moss brings together insights from a number of overlapping fields in exploring how women's everyday practices in higher education are shaped by dominant spatial/temporal representations and practices. Moss brings alive the voices of the women in her study across the fields of paid employment, housing and household, including childcare, friendship and relationships. She explores how these differing spatial and temporal modalities impact on women's experience of studying in higher education. She is alive to issues of class, geographical origin, race, and to other aspects of identity, and her sensitive analysis of the data captures the complexity of the lives of the women in her study. Full of wonderful insights, as well as theoretical rigour, this text deserves a wide readership among higher education practitioners and feminists, as well as social scientists with a specialist interest in the theorisation of space and time.
