Sammanfattning:This title explores the lives of women in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. A period of transformation of both gender roles and American cities, it shows how changes in the city affected women's ability to negotiate shifting gender norms as well as how women's increasing use of the city played a critical role in the campaign for women's suffrage. Focusing on women's everyday use of streetcars, shops, restaurants, and theatres, the book reveals the impact of women on these public places - what women did there, which women went there, and how these places were changed in response to women's presence.
