Responding to Tony Williams re: feminist geography.....There is a significant
difference between geographies OF women (or the other groups he mentioned) and
'feminist' geography.  One is a study of a subject (I'm not so sure most women,
however, would feel comfortable as 'subjects' in this study); the other is
(apparently) a perspective from the basis of feminism.  What I can't understand
is the differences among the various feminisms (e.g., why is it that only
women can be feminists, at least in the opinions that have been expressed by
some to me?).  The not-so-simple question that got this chain going is a good
one for all of us to use for reflection....and perhaps for increased understand-
ing.
