Abstract

This article presents a critique of the treatment of gender issues within analyses of gentrification. Despite frequent references to the importance of changes in the position of women in the labour market and the family, very few studies examine the possibility that gentrification might entail processes of gender constitution as well as processes of class constitution. Moreover those that do, focus on gender divisions of labour to the neglect of gender identities. I argue here for an approach that examines how ideas about gender are reworked and renegotiated through the social practices of gentrification.
