Women in Geography Project Records, 1988-2010

Biography/History

The Women in Geography Project consists of 59 taped interviews conducted by Dr. Janice Monk, with women geographers across a broad spectrum of ages, academic status, affiliations, and experiences. They represent a critical chronicle of the significant and under-appreciated role of women in the development of academic geography in the United States. Dr. Monk's publications based upon these interviews provide historical and contextual dimensions to women's contributions to geographic scholarship, and particularly to issues of respect and inclusion.
