More about the book
Exploring the concept of the flâneuse, this work delves into the historical and cultural implications of women strolling in urban spaces, a notion introduced by Charles Baudelaire and later examined by Walter Benjamin. It challenges the idea presented by Janet Wolff, who argues that societal norms prevent women from freely wandering the city without risking their reputation. The project aims to illuminate the complexities and constraints faced by women in modernity, highlighting their often invisible presence in the narrative of urban exploration.
