Megan Smitley is a former ESRC Post Doctoral Fellow, having attained her PhD in History and Economic and Social History from the University of Glasgow
Smitley's concept of a feminine public sphere is an original
contribution to the growing body of work that challenges the
ideology of separate spheres sharply divided by gender. Although
the involvement of women in public action together with their
self-representation has been highlighted before, Smitley makes
space for women within the public culture of the civic elite, which
urban historians, drawing on the early ideas of Jurgen Habermas,
have depicted as male territory.
