In the chapter of city of woman,  the author  starts off by describing the  New York City area with the subways,  the fact the walls were tagged.  And when looking at the Subway maps I’ve noticed that there were alot of women who lived within the three boroughs of New york, which are Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the bronx.

Our class reading was very interesting this week, the author spoke about New York City but in a different aspect in life. She spoke upon how would the city or the world be if most national landmarks, streets, and statues were mainly woman. She provided us with statistics which shown that only 5 statute of monument in the city was a woman in power and the rest of the 100s of status where of man in power. Now what if all these national landmarks, statues, and streets were mirrored with the statistic of woman and man, would the world be different. If the man in power could be in woman shoes and constantly be reminded on how the woman is alpha rather than the man, how about every street they turn too which its name after a powerful man instead it will be a powerful woman. What would the world be like instead of having over 50th presidents of man and its woman she believes the world would be a lot different  Her essay was very interesting especially when she changed the subway map of New York City and every stop was named after a powerful.

Map Reflection
I believe that the main idea of “City of Women” is to explain transit’s infrastructure, also to speak upon promoting the awareness of sexual harrassment against women. The author wanted to imagine a world where woman are seen as powerful. This assuault occurs on our streets, but also shows up within our train stations. The map shown visualizes a world where women are appreciated more than men, signified by the stations replaced with the names of famous women. The author also includes facts such as there being 400 stations which have about 233 miles of routes, and how graffiti is also known as “wild style”. The author also adds the fact that there was a movement in 2005 to prevent sexual harrassment against women.

In the city of women, the authors argument is that women don’t get enough recognition for the thing they do. Women have, just an important role as men in are everyday society. My favorite part of the essay is when she talks about how most things have the names of men and that she made it her business to have women names of stress as well, because there as important.

While I was reading the Book it talked about the maps and the city of women. I came upon a reflection which showed the names of women on the map and how they contributed to society and it had the train numbers 1-6. If I compared it to the other map located on page 90 it shows how many women were harassed and how it can affect our city. As I was reading it also the author talks about how she was observing how there are mainly monuments of the women, women doing and being successful and it shows it can motivate her to become just like them. It also shows how powerful women can be.
