Chet Van Duzer, University of Rochester, NY, USA, gives the second presentation in the first session of the seminar.

The rise, persistence and surprising end of female personifications of the continents on maps

An online conference focusing on mapping and closely linked professions such as surveying, exploration, navigation, hydrography, and printing, which have conventionally been associated with men: as makers, patrons, users, and interpreters.  The conference explores the place of women and the feminine in maps and mapping, with no chronological or geographical bounds, and a broad understanding of 'maps'.
