Description
Designing Women: Gender and the Architectural Profession by Annmarie Adams and Peta Tancred explores the complex relationship between women in the architectural profession and their contributions to the field. The authors examine how women have navigated the challenges of a male-dominated workplace, often finding innovative solutions to overcome obstacles. Through original research, they shed light on issues specific to architecture in Canada, highlighting the ways in which women's experiences are characteristic of many male-dominated industries. This book provides a unique blend of historical and sociological perspectives, offering insights into the dynamics of status and power that shape the architectural profession. By exploring the stories of women architects who have made significant contributions to their field, Adams and Tancred demonstrate how women design buildings and careers that transcend traditional professional boundaries.
