"How Nazi architects and planners envisioned and began to build a model 'Aryan' society in Norway during World War II"--

For a century and a half, women have demonstrated their passion and talent in architecture, with a significant increase in their enrollment in architecture schools in recent decades. Despite this, the number of women working as architects remains low, particularly in higher positions within the profession. In contrast, fields like law and medicine have been more successful in retaining and integrating women. This raises the question: why do women continue to struggle in architecture? The narrative explores the stagnation of women in a profession that remains predominantly male and highlights the efforts of a new generation of activists who are pushing for change. Despina Stratigakos provides a provocative examination of women's roles in architecture, starting with the historical context that has allowed the profession to overlook women's absence since the nineteenth century. The book addresses the current status of women in architecture and the significant challenges they face. However, it also offers a hopeful perspective, showcasing the rise of advocates challenging the profession's entrenched male dominance, from elite awards to the underrepresentation of women architects online. Stratigakos shares her own involvement in the controversial creation of Architect Barbie, further illustrating the ongoing fight for equality in the field.
