Taking Up Space delves into the intricate tapestry of women's experiences in contemporary France, shedding light on the diverse environments in which they navigate and thrive. It explores the profound significance of cultural productions in raising awareness about labor issues that disproportionately impact women, while also providing a fertile ground for envisioning a future where inclusive and equitable work spaces are the norm. Through a phenomenological lens inspired by Sara Ahmed's approach to objects, the book delves into the rich metaphors associated with doors, unraveling the multifaceted ways in which they shape women's work experiences. The contributors showcase how doors are not merely static entities, but rather serve as thresholds that bridge the gap between different realms of existence. Collectively, the chapters paint a vivid portrait of how women's work experiences can oscillate between states of oppression, resilience, and celebration. They demonstrate how, through deliberate stances and actions, various work spaces can transform into sites of liberation and revolution. By examining the complexities and nuances of women's experiences within these spaces, Taking Up Space offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of gender dynamics in the workplace and beyond. It serves as a call to action, urging individuals and organizations to actively work towards creating environments that foster equality, empowerment, and inclusivity for all.
