    Abstract:
    Women’s writings are drawn on to show how women of all classes & races challenged the sexual divisions of Boston, MA, 1870-1910. The relations of power among women & between women & men are demonstrated within the framework of the city’s physical environment. Women’s experiences were shaped by the urban environment, & their actions helped shape this environment. It is concluded that women progressed from filling spaces created for them to enjoying spaces created by themselves. 1 Figure. Modified A
