Author Will C. van den Hoonaard examines the history of women in the profession, sets out the situation of women in technical fields and cartography-related organizations, and outlines the challenges they face in their careers. \u003ci\u003eMap Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e explores women as colourists in early times, describes the major houses of cartographic production, and delves into the economic function of intermarriages among cartographic houses and families. It relates how in later centuries, working from the margins, women produced maps to record painful tribal memories or sought to remedy social injustices. Much later, one woman so changed the way we think about continents that the shift has been likened to the Copernican revolution. Other women created order and wonder about the lunar landscape, and still others turned the art and science of making maps inside out, exposing the hidden, unconscious, and subliminal \"\"text\"\" of maps. Shared by all these map-makers are themes of social justice and making maps work for the betterment of humanity.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMap Worlds: A History of Women in Cartography\u003c\/i\u003e by Will C. van den Hoonaard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Figures, Tables, and Charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Introduction: The Strands through Map Worlds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Who Is a Cartographer?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 The Thirteenth to Seventeenth Centuries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries (1666 to 1850)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Cartography from the Margins: From the Early Twentieth Century to World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Mid- to Late-Twentieth-Century Pioneers and Advancers in North America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Late-Twentieth-Century Pioneers and Advancers in Europe, Asia, and Latin America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 \"\"Getting There without Aiming at It\"\": Women's Experiences in Becoming Cartographers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 \"\"We Are Good Ghosts!\"\": Orientations and Expectations of Women Cartographers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Educational Opportunities and Obstacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 The Gendered Social Organization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Female Pathways through the Present-Day Map World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 Gender Shifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Methodology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB Topics Covered in an In-Depth Interview\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC Overview of Twenty-Eight Women Pioneers in Cartography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopyright Acknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523399250200,"sku":"9781771121262","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/map-worlds-a-history-of-women-in-cartography-paperback-softback-9781771121262","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
