The Sphinx in the City Paperback – 10 Mar. 1992

How heartening that this book is still in print. As an artist, I found it inspiring: Wilson makes connections between women, urban space, politics and aesthetics that many of us sense but few of us articulate so well. This is one of those 'theory' books that, without lapsing into imprecision or intellectual muddiness, has a real poetry. No doubt urban theory has come a long way in the eleven years since this work was first published, but the important thing is that the questions Wilson raised she left open. Consider it a classic.
