Women occupy a central place in shaping cities, whether it is as artists or architects, as activists or politicians, as organizers or engineers. Although women have been essential in creating urban landscapes, as well as communities and meanings, the stories told about cities through street names, statues, and in the history books, often (solely) focus on male protagonists. Edition #5 of the Amsterdam Museum Journal (AMJournal), titled Women and Cities, focuses women's relationships with urban environments. Specifically, this edition explores the diverse ways in which women influence cities and, in turn, how cities shape their lives. This edition is guest edited by Margriet Schavemaker (art history).
