Intersectional in approach, this volume of Advances in Gender Research offers an overview of the ways in which environments — broadly defined to include social, natural and built territories, domains and habitats — are gendered. Rooted in qualitative, feminist and change-oriented perspectives, this international set of scholars and practitioners provides an understanding of how marginalized and indigenous populations, often overlooked, relate to natural and built environments.Drawing on real-world interviews, as well as their political and historical contexts, contributors highlight the voices of women and their interactions with their environments. Chapters critically consider the threats, barriers and limitations of urban design to the movements of women, including those with disabilities, covering cases such as:home-based sex work in Punjab citiesworkplace environments and their role in women’s career buildingenvironmental activism and citiesAsian American women in STEM disciplinesindigenous change agents in the Amazonchange in built environments, specifically in Athens and Romeagriculture in the Colombian Amazonqueer eco-spiritualityDemonstrating how women and other marginalized groups respond to the limits and options imposed by the history and structure of spaces, People, Spaces and Places in Gendered Environments envisions a world beyond colonial, able-bodied, class and patriarchal limitations where freedom of movement functions for all.

As a member of the oldest environmental organization in the United States, the Sierra Club (founded in 1892), I am especially pleased to endorse this important work about how the climate crisis is affecting women. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change found that 80% of displaced persons are women. Examining natural and built environments in their physical, social-psychological, and spiritual manifestations, [this volume] provides a broad view of the relationship between gender and environments.
