Women, Space and Utopia, 1600-1800 is written by Nicole Pohl and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0754652572 (ISBN 10) and 9780754652571 (ISBN 13).

The first full-length study of women's utopian spatial imagination in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this book explores the sophisticated correlation between identity and social space. The investigation is driven by conceptual questions and thus seeks to link theoretical debates about space, gender and utopianism to historiographic debates about the (gendered) social production of space. Specific attention is given to spaces that feature widely in contemporary utopian imagination: Arcadia, the palace, the convent, the harem and the country house.
