    “A book that explains to you why and how cities were not built for women or any person who isn’t your average man with a briefcase. That’s why sidewalks aren’t wide enough for strollers or wheelchairs. Leslie Kern made me realize how 90% of the time I would move out of the way when walking down the sidewalk. What an eye opening experiment to NOT move over and let the men do the work (or walk into you as they realize this is the first time someone hasn’t moved out of the way for them). Makes you see the world differently.”
