Gender and Wildfire: Landscapes of Uncertainty (Routledge International Studies of Women and Place)

This book examines wildfire awareness and preparedness amongst households, communities and agencies at the wildland-urban interface in Australia and the United States. Women's and men's stories of surviving, living and working with wildfire reveal the intimate inner workings of wildfire response - and especially the culturally and historically distinct gender relations that underpin wildfire resilience.
