This paper reflects on the origins of Tivers’ 1978 paper “How the other half lives: the geographical study of women,” tracing these through a consideration of societal expectations at the time, which were mirrored in the content and approach of 1970s Geography in the UK. Attention is given here both to this original context of the paper and to its context in subsequent publications and in the overall career of the author.
