Abstract

The anthology by Darja Reuschke, assembled for the farewell of Ruth Becker, offers a variety of theoretical and empirical findings regarding the topic ‘living and gender relations’. Among others, the list of authors includes some of the grandes dames of feminist and gender related Spatial Research. The four parts and fourteen articles address theories, politics, various circumstances, social groups, residential locations, as well as mobility. This review puts particular emphasis on the articles about housing policy: while housing policy usually pursues goals of integration and gender equality, it oftentimes ends up causing opposite effects.
