CITY OF WOMEN

The metro map “Barcelona. City of Women” is jointly published by Barcelona City Council and Haymarket Books. The project was directed by Professor Núria Ricart Ulldemolins, with the support of an advisory editorial board made up of Mary Nash, Mercè Otero, Marta Mas, Salima Jirari and Dolors Marín, and the backing of numerous women’s organisations in the city that have helped represent the enormous existing wealth and diversity within the limits of the 153 stations making up the project. Their biographies are writed by Paula Castellón.

The result is a diverse and cross-cutting mapping that challenges the multiple forms of invisibility that women have been subjected to in terms of recognising the value of people that are important to the city. Women role models from our past, and living and today's women. A mapping rooted to our local area, with leading figures not only in terms of professional development, but also women recognised in neighbourhood struggles, role models for feminism and the LBTI+ community, activists in intercultural and anti-fascist struggles and a long etcetera of other women past and present whose contributions to our city and our society are of huge value.
