E-grāmata: Women Architects at Work: Making American Modernism

"[ Mary Anne Hunting and Kevin D. Murphy] succeeded in reviving the work of scores of impressive women. A well-populated, deeply researched history." * Kirkus Reviews * "This book models the research and scholarship needed to more fully represent women in the history of architecture. The result is a richer story of both women in architecture and modernism in the United States." * Library Journal starred review * "A valuable survey of modernist women architects. . . . Interspersed with ample photos and sketches, this is a comprehensive and welcome revival of a lesser-known chapter in the history of architecture." * Publishers Weekly * "Architecture in the 20th century was a male-dominated profession (and not much has changed), but this study of the alumnae of the Cambridge School of Architecture in Massachusetts makes the case for women as necessarily shrewd operators." * Apollo Magazine * "A pointillist account, touching on dozens of designers, and substituting an atomized collage for a few singular narrative trajectories. . . . The Modern project for the women of Women Architects at Work was creating places where the choice between domesticity and design could be a capricious and joyous one."---Zach Mortice, Metropolis "[ Women Architects at Work] offer[ s] new perspectives on recognized designers while also shining a light on lesser-known practitioners, whose contributions to the field are equally deserving of recognition."---Sydney Shilling, Azure Magazine "An exhaustive work of setting the record straight. . . . Hunting and Murphys project details the erasure of women in modernism as much as their contributionsits a necessary if painful symbiosis."---Laura Raskin, Architect's Newspaper "A great new book. . . . [ that] really dives deep into a fascinating aspect of architectural history and American history that deserves a lot of attention."---Nicholas Redding, PreserveCast podcast
