Women on the streets
Women on the streets analyses the streets and squares named after women in Valencia, Spain, from a statistical, urbanistic, historical and feminist perspective. By studying the limited number of signs named after women in Spain, and across Europe, the author’s extensive research calls attention to the sexism at the heart of Western contemporary societies and their historical grounding in patriarchy. By examining the characteristics of selected streets, squares and neighbourhoods, along with the careers and lives of these honoured women, she offers a fresh and truly feminist perspective on the lives of the women whose names grace the city of Valencia.
Pénélope Delaur
Pénélope Delaur is a French graphic designer and artistic director who left Paris, France for Valencia, Spain in 2020. As she was getting to know the new city she moved into, she picked up an interest in the names of the streets and observed a lack of representativeness of women. She published the first edition of Women on the streets in 2021, and concurrently started a publishing house, éditions pépé, which focuses on women and feminism. After she published two more artists, she launched an updated and more thorough edition of her book in 2023. She has written many essays, poems, and lyrics since arriving in Spanish territory.
