This is a revealing book which, for the first time, investigates
the central influence of feminism in the work of Le Corbusier; one
of the most important and revered architects of all time.
The text covers Le Corbusier's upbringing and training and sets
this in the context of the cultural atmosphere of his time,
covering issues of gender and religion. It reveals aspects of his
private life such as personal relationships, which have barely been
explored before as no biography currently exists. Furthermore, the
author reveals, for the first time in print, a previously
undiscovered and unpublished Le Corbusier building, making this
book an incredibly significant addition to existing literature on
the great man.
In short, the new evidence and theories contained in this volume
amount to major revelations about this hugely revered and central
architectural figure of the 20th Century.
