Where are the Women Architects?

Zusatztext "Countering entrenched discrimination takes time and effort, and in the case of architecture it should involve reading this book as well as some of the many texts Stratigakos references within." Informationen zum Autor Despina Stratigakos Klappentext "This important and sharp critique makes a convincing argument about the status of women and the deep-seated gender issues in the profession of architecture. Accessibly written, it will be incredibly useful to readers inside and outside of the field. Despina Stratigakos demonstrates how far things have progressed--and how far we have yet to go." --Lori A. Brown, Syracuse University School of Architecture "Despina Stratigakos unravels the stultifying, appeasing mantra that 'things are not that bad anymore' when it comes to the place of women in the profession of architecture. Clearly, she shows, they are that bad. Where Are the Women Architects? is timely and significant." --Cathrine Veikos, California College of the Arts Zusammenfassung Published in association with Places Journal.
