Title: How the other half lives: A reflection on Tivers (1978) from a physical geographer's point of view
Abstract: This is a reflection on Tivers' (1978) paper from a physical geography point of view. I discuss four elements of the original paper: the increase in women in the field of geography, fieldwork, family role, and “everyday sexism.” Alongside this, I provide a reflection of my own experience as a UK physical geographer over the last 40 years and discuss the major changes over that time.
