Women, the city and (dis)organizing

Barbara Czarniawska

Abstract

This essay examines changes in the discourse on cities framed by two topics – women and city organizing, the latter limited here to city management. Using periodization as a text‐structuring device, the analysis reveals that the ways in which women are situated in the city do not change much across periods, although organizing technologies and discursive vocabularies do. The essay ends with suggestions for developing a feminist theory of city management.
