Reviews for Women in Architecture: Past, Present, and Future

Discusses great achievements of women architects both now and throughout history. 'After centuries of exclusivity with only male architects, never women, the boom in the women's movement at the end of the 19th century [allowed women] to gain admission to the profession. They had to fight for it, and they did.'--Jennifer Billock Smithsonian This book represents a vital intervention in ongoing debates around what true gender equality might look like across the creative sector. More than that, it's a document of 36 hugely significant architectural practices, responsible for some of the most dazzling features of our contemporary built environment.--Greg Thomas Aesthetica Pays tribute to the undoubtable rich variety, powerful achievements and enormous potential the women in architecture have to offer.--Ellie Stathaki Wallpaper*
