Bloomsbury Global Encyclopedia of Women in Architecture tells the untold story of architectural history from 1960 to 2020, as the authoritative reference to women architects and their work, for students, scholars, and professional architects.
Women now comprise half of all architecture students in many countries but students and scholars lack authoritative, globally connected histories of female mentors, peers, and forebears. The encyclopedia introduces them to the notable and overlooked women of the global built world, founding a ground-breaking new field of historical scholarship.
Within a geographical and historical framework, key architects from over 135 countries are included in detailed biographical entries. The encyclopedia covers an innovative period in women’s history from 1960 onwards – from when the gender bar was lifted at iconic architecture schools, to the present day.
