This paper presents a critical feminist evaluation of the pretension of inclusivity of the right to the city literature. The right to the city concept of Henri Lefebvre, which is constructed on a critique of capitalism and liberal representative democracy, has become increasingly popular in recent decades. Parallel to such interest, there has been a growing feminist right to the city literature both in international and Turkish literature. Prior to taking a direct interest in the concept, feminist urban research has already exhibited the forms of gender-based inequality and exclusion in cities and urban life. Significant literature has been accumulated in that field. The paper argues that despite such critical feminist literature, studies on the right to the city mainly focus on capitalism and class-based distinctions, partialise gender-based inequalities and ignore feminist knowledge. Gender-based inequalities, which are not incorporated in the historical and contemporary analyses, are almost only added into the theoretical arguments on the future through Henri Lefebvre's accounts of gender in his writings on the right to difference. The demand for the right to the city will not reach its ideal of freedom, designed at a general and abstract level, unless the literature systematically takes feminist, anti-racist, etc. knowledge into account.
