"The scope of the book is impressive. Working Feminism provides a fascinating analysis of social and cultural theory from a feminist perspective using a geographical lens to re-examine debates that are familiar in different contexts. The wide-ranging theoretical debates discussed throughout make this a highly original book." Geografiska Annaler, Series B: Human Geography "This is an exhilarating book that seeks to put feminist theory 'to work' on complex difficulties encountered by marginalized women. There is not enough space here to elaborate on all the admirable qualities of Working Feminism.the prose is accessible and inviting. Student and scholars alike will find sections of this book that they will savour and puzzle over precisely because Pratt generously provides many theoretical openings throughout the text." Economic Geography "Geraldine Pratt is an engaging, humorous, and provocative writer.


Working Feminism is a must-read for researchers who are interested in the politics and messiness of community collaborations; advocates and critics of feminist post-structural theories who want to see ways that theory can actively engage with the material; and feminists from other disciplines who want to gain a deeper understanding of an appreciation for the insights that a geographical imagination can bring to feminist theory." Gender, Place and Culture "Stylish and funny, Working Feminism is a wonderful, original and provocative book that splices theory, practice and empirical study in a way that few works do. The research provides important insights into many of the urgent issues in social and cultural theory of the past decade and demonstrates what a geographical imagination can do for/to social theory." -Cindi Katz, author of Growing Up Global "The empirical chapters are absolutely the strength of the book, and her case study is a perfect one for the hotbutton issues of the day.Pratt strengthens her position as one of the most thoughtful and sophisticated feminist geographers working today. Pratt expands our understanding of the theory that can inform feminist research.With Working Feminism, Pratt has done an admirable job." Annals of the Association of American Geographers.
