Flâneuse by Lauren Elkin
Women Walk the City
A spirited blend of cultural history, literary criticism, and memoir that excavates the overlooked tradition of women who walk the city, arguing that walking can be a form of feminist resistance and an act of reclaiming public space. Through vivid portraits of historical and contemporary female walkers across major world cities, paired with personal reflection and close readings of art, literature, and architecture, the narrative shows how urban ambulation shapes identity, exposes gendered restrictions and surveillance, and offers a way to understand and contest the social life of the metropolis.
