Women Architects in the Modern Movement rewrites the history of
modern architecture to elevate the often-overlooked female
architects who helped build the movement. Starting with a
theoretical analysis that situates women's roles both in society
and architecture specifically, Carmen Espegel examines the
transition from women as objects to subjects at the advent of
modernity. This theoretical basis is grounded through four case
studies on pioneering women architects: Eileen Gray, Lilly Reich,
Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky and Charlotte Perriand. Along with
illuminating their lives and work, Espegel aims to help us examine
and observe the world from a perspective where the feminine and
masculine are not exclusive, so that we might learn from the past
in order to build with dignity in the future. Translated from the
original Spanish by Angela Giral.
