This paper concerns the gendered geographies from the perspective of the historical-geographical materialism, situated in the great transformation of Paris in 19c under the creative destruction of Haussmann. Exploring the relationship between the production of space by the power-subject and the gendered places related to women, gender, class, etc. in either private/family space, urban public space, or liminal space such as Arcade Passage in Paris, the author attempts to figure out the connection of this prehistory of 19c to the whole geneology of feminist geography launched in 1970s and its future research direction. The study holds that:1) The creative destruction of Haussmann to Paris, based on the enlightenment rationality and the masculinity of modernist urban planning, divided the urban space of Paris into a dual structure consisting of the urban core and the suburban edge, thus realizing the spatial segregation between the bourgeoisie and the working class, and constructing the internal differentiation of women fractioned by their class status. 2) The development of industrialization and urbanization of Paris had strengthened the spatial division between the family sphere and the public sphere, as well as the establishment of family gender regime under the traditional patriarchy highlighting the biological sex essentialism and regarding women only as the maternal role in family. 3) The internal contradiction of urban modernity produced the third kind of gender geography in liminal space different from the spaces of Paris with "two kinds of spaces and classes in one city". 4) Although this paper discusses the gender geographies of urban modernity occurred about two hundred years ago, this "obsolete" research is still very "contemporary" connecting the pre-modern, the modern, the postmodern, and even our 21st century future.

The subject of Feminist geography mainly focuses on the interaction and reconstruction between female and space and place. The development of western feminist geography originates from the 1970s, whereas the relevant research in China is relatively lack. In current, China's society is in a period of transition and the local context has its particularity. Through keywords search and thematic analysis method, this paper divides the domestic research literatures of feminist geography into six sections:female and urban-rural spaces, female and employment space, female and family space, female talents and geography, female and literary space, female and tourism space. First of all, in terms of women and urban and rural areas, gender roles and urban space are mutually constructed. Women present corresponding spatial characteristics with different development stages of society, meanwhile, they reconstruct urban space through their initiative. Secondly, in the matter of female and employment space, women are confronted with gender segregation compared with their male counterparts. In the meantime, there are internal differences among women group. Thirdly, the improvement of females' education background leads to the rise of women's academic status and the spatial distribution of female talents is mainly in the eastern coastal areas. However, they still cannot get rid of the traditional gender norms. Fourthly, in terms of women and family space, the value of housework done by women is neglected and the scope of outside is family-centered. Fifthly, in terms of women and literary geography, the description of women's space in literary works reflects ideal female images, while women in film and television works are still in a state of "aphasia".

The body in different spaces is a hot topic in human geography, and tourism as a leisure activity provides specific contexts for the body and its practices. Along with the iteration of Internet technology, tourists can be "in" the geographical physical space and digital virtual space. Focusing on female travelers who share travel photos in different social media, this study analyzes how they use their bodies for self-construction in travel contexts, involving both offsite spaces-photos of the included body taken by travelers in other places of travel-and heterogeneous spaces-the included body photos shared by the tourist in the virtual space of social media. Considering that the case population needs to have the habit and skill of sharing travel photos on social media, this paper takes post-90s women as the research object and focuses on the following research questions:What kind of self-construction do post-90s women perform through their bodies in the travel heterogeneous space? What role do their bodies play in the travel context? How do their travel photos construct their bodies in the virtual heterogeneous space of social media? Using in-depth interview method and grounded theory analysis of the interview texts, 16 categories, 7 main categories and 1 core category are extracted through open coding, main axis coding and selective coding. The study found that:1) Women "awaken" their bodies in order to break free from the constraints and break away from the everyday; 2) although the post-90s women are gradually evoking their bodies' self-awareness and breaking the "commodification" and "mythologization" of women's bodies under the influence of consumerism, their bodies are still oppressed by daily aesthetic standards and the surveillance of the other to a certain extent.

Grounded on the theoretical strands of doing gender and feminist geography, this study investigates the gendering process of female hotel professionals at their home sphere and workspace. Doing and undoing gender of female labor highly depends on the interplay between social fields and the stage of career. First, entry-level female staff in the hotel believe that how to properly doing gender in the workplace is an important matter for constant exploration and negotiation in the early stages of their careers. Second, undoing gender will not be universal in the work or family field of every female professional. Middle-level and high-level employees generally face the dilemma of breaking through gender stereotypes. Third, female professionals who arrive at high-level positions in the hotel choose to return to do gender through the undoing gender in the family field, or the weakening of the gender contradiction between the family and the work field. In the process of spatial interaction, female professionals challenge and change gender-related norms and attributes, interpreting gender disciplines and exercises in different spaces and career development stages. From a theoretical perspective, this study challenges such notion and reveals that gender cannot be viewed independently from a solely space or single stage. Instead, gender should be viewed as a whole outcome from the process of negotiation between active individuals and multiple social spaces. Furthermore, undoing gender does not happen without the existing sexual regimes. Agency never disappear in doing and undoing gender approach.
