Jacqueline Coutras

Jacqueline Coutras, born in 1942, is a French geographer, CNRS researcher, and pioneer of gender geography in France. Along with Jeanne Fagnani, she took part in the institutionalization of international feminist geography.

In her 1996 book ''Urban crisis and gendered spaces'' she addressed the issue of sexual spatial asymmetries, and showed that if women have expanded the space to which they were traditionally confined through access to paid work and car driving, they nevertheless were not able to achieve full access to all spaces of socialization. Cities remain unequal spaces. Provided by Wikipedia
