Environment through a gendered lens: From person-in-environment to woman-in-environment

Building on interdisciplinary work by critical and feminist scholars in geo graphy, architecture and urban planning and history, this article proposes a reworking of social work's person-environment-formulation to incorporate gender and its implications more fully. Three interlocking domains are addr essed: (a) women's subjective experiences of their everyday environments ; (b) the connections among these environmental experiences, the geography of women's lives, and larger social categories such as race/ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation; and (c) women's environmental strengths, resources , and agency.
