The relationship between the public and the private has been a central issue in women's and gender history. By claiming that the "private is political", second wave feminists set out to change not just the political, but also the scholarly landscape. This themed issue revisits the debate, linking it (once again) to the discussion of space as a historical category. Its topics range from the spatial and gender order in the Renaissance and court culture of the early modern period to New York's "underworld" in the early 20th century to the gendered public memory discourse in modern Eastern Turkey.
