1 1 Driving Like a Boy : Sexual Difference, Embodiment and Space Susan Best , 1999 single work criticism
— Appears in: Imagining Australian Space : Cultural Studies and Spatial Inquiry 1999; (p. 93-101) This essay argues that 'a culturally produced , individually lived, intersubjective spaciality is the condition of human life'. Best uses a feminist study by Iris Marion Young on female ball throwing to discuss how the use of space differs between men and women and concludes that a revaluing of the differences would be beneficial to both women and men.
