Chapter 10: Gender

Our gender identification is an important part of our identity, yet this most basic component of personal identity is fluid because it is based in part on geography. 

Where you are conditions not just who you are, but what you are as well as where you can go, what you know and many aspects of your daily routine. 

Gender and sexual identity are important to understand, not only because it helps us understand ourselves, but others and other cultures.  This chapter is not lengthy, but exceptionally important in terms of the power of the concepts and ideas that a spatial perspective brings to our ability to re-learn or reconsider that which is widely taken as "common sense"
