'Exploring gender in the European town, Deborah Simonton provides essential reading for everyone interested in the many dimensions of urban life.'

Dag Lindstrom, Uppsala University, Sweden

'Gender in the European Town offers a cutting-edge and nuanced survey of how gender informs the urban experience, during a critical period of expansion and evolution. Highlighting the complex interplays of identity, politics, space, belonging, economy and society in small towns and large cities across the breadth of Europe, this volume will be a core text for students and scholars that wish to understand the important role of towns in shaping everyday life and processes of historical change. A remarkable achievement by a leader in the field.'
