Annotation

Exploring the historical alignment between women and shopping, this paper situates a gendered reading of South African shopping within the discourses of (feminist) cultural geography, gender politics and (visual) cultural studies. It is suggested that contemporary social practices support the social perception of shopping as women's work.
