The woman and the city is a topic of increasing importance, and one which, to me, exemplifies the pervasive nature of the patriarchy, as well as the new and changing ways in which it presents itself.

By Ava Wood On 24th October, Iceland’s women left their workplaces and went on strike, protesting the 10.2% gender pay gap in the country. The movement is inspirational for those of us who come from countries where mobilisation on this scale is unthinkable, and puzzling in the context of the country’s status as the most gender equal in the world (Barry, 2023).
