DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1980\, the Yearbook of Women&rsquo\;s History is a p
 eer-reviewed academic annual covering all aspects of gender connected with
  historical research throughout the world. Each issue deals with a specifi
 c theme\, for which we publish CFP yearly. We welcome different kinds of c
 ontributions: research articles\, reviews\, reflective pieces\, (picture)e
 ssays and any kind of genre that fits our theme.CFP #44: Feminism and the 
 making of the built environment: From past to presentGender theorists and 
 activists often highlight the historical notion that &ldquo\;cities are ma
 de by men.&rdquo\; But is this entirely true? Or does this perspective omi
 t and erase critical aspects of history? The scarcity of women in the arch
 itectural canon compels us to ask: why is this the case? What were &ndash\
 ; and are &ndash\; the institutional gatekeepers that systematically exclu
 ded women\, people of colour\, and other marginalized groups from the prov
 erbial drawing board\, nowadays and in the past? Recent research into thes
 e questions has uncovered a wealth of historical information that challeng
 es the supposed absence of women and other marginalized groups from archit
 ectural history and theory.Feminist critiques of urban planning and develo
 pment from the 1980s and 1990s exposed how the built environment often fai
 led to accommodate everyday practices tied to female roles. This failure w
 as largely attributed to the lack of female representation in planning str
 uctures. But feminism is about more than simply the presence of women. It 
 is a critical lens and theoretical framework through which the nature and 
 impact of gender inequality can be explored. As such\, feminist architectu
 re challenges entrenched norms and reimagines how spaces are designed and 
 inhabited. Starting from this premise\, the Yearbook of Women&rsquo\;s His
 tory aims to examine how the built environment was shaped within and beyon
 d the confines of architects&rsquo\; offices. How have local authorities\, 
 clients\, building firms\, activist organizations\, and knowledge institut
 ions been influenced by feminist ideas\, intersectional perspectives\, or 
 decolonial thought on architecture?How have feminist contributions influen
 ced the development of buildings\, districts\, and entire cities? And in w
 hat ways were such perspectives excluded or ignored?For the 44th issue of 
 the Yearbook of Women&rsquo\;s History (guest editors: Lidewij Tummers and
  Mar&iacute\;a Novas)\, we invite contributions that explore feminist arch
 itectural practices in past and present &ndash\; whether through built pro
 jects\, design approaches\, or biographies. How have feminist frameworks (
 re)shaped our understanding of architecture and urban planning? How were w
 omen involved in the making of houses\, institutional buildings such as as
 ylums\, schools\, prisons\, monasteries\, shops\, markets\, governmental b
 uildings? Whose stories remain untold\, and what can we learn from them?CA
 LL FOR PAPERSWe are looking for articles that vary in length (3000-6000 wo
 rds). We will also consider experimental pieces &ndash\; poems\, short exp
 lorations\, visual essays\, and creative interventions. We welcome contrib
 utions that employ different perspectives and scales of analysis from all o
 ver the world. We invite authors from academia\, museums and cultural and 
 heritage institutions\, NGOs\, and activist organisations. We welcome cont
 ributions from a wide range of disciplines\, including but not limited to 
 architecture\, history\, cultural studies\, anthropology\, and social and 
 cultural geography.Abstracts of 200-300 words are to be submitted by&nbsp\
