Feminism has had an impact on the discipline of geography since the1970s. In the 1980s, several articles in Anglophone geography journals lamented the lack of female scholars within the discipline while calling for more research that incorporated gender as a category of analysis. Two organizations, the Women and Geography Study Group of the Institute of British Geographers and Royal Geographical Society, and Geographic Perspectives on Women Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers formed in an effort to draw greater attention to the study of gender within the discipline of geography. Present paper has made an attempt to analyse the importance of the study of gender issues in geography. The study of gender within geography has introduced new theoretical concepts such as the gendering of public and private spaces, gendered divisions of paid and unpaid labour, and challenges to the gender assumptions reminiscent in much of Marxist geography. Much of this scholarship included women as a previously absent group into the study of place and space. In the 1990s gender studies grew extensively with several foundational texts that questioned existing research methodologies, ontologies and epistemologies, while providing different frameworks for teaching and scholarship.
