Summary: The gender issues surrounding architecture are extraordinarily complex and, frequently, highly emotionally charged. Even the title of this book generated controversy: The original title, The Female Architect, was rejected because it highlighted the fact that the architects whose work is featured here are women, when most want to be considered just as architects. All want their work to be read on its own merits. This work aims to banish the notion of architecture as being a male-dominated field by showcasing the work of a wide variety of world-class women architects who have made significant contributions to the field of architecture.
