Abstract
This chapter examines the troubled relationships between rurality, geography and feminism. It begins by demonstrating that feminist rural geographers have troubled the subdiscipline methodologically and epistemologically. Following this, it shows how feminist theorizations of rurality have troubled urban-centric feminist geographies that have, too often, marginalized the experiences and diversity of rural women. In the subsequent section of the chapter, rural feminist geography’s troubling colonial gaze is overviewed. This is elaborated upon through the introduction of decolonial feminism that, we contend, offers significant political and theoretical potential to subvert the hegemony of White feminism.
