Ideological Equals: Women Architects in Socialist Europe 1945-1989
presents an alternative narrative of women in architecture. A topic
often considered from the perspective of difference, this edited
collection conversely focuses on the woman architect in a position
of equality with their male counterparts. The book looks at nations
in Eastern Europe under Socialism where, between 1945 and 1989, a
contrasting vision of gender relations was propagated in response
to the need for engineers and architects. It includes contributions
from established and emerging academics in the fields of 20th
century history, art history, and architectural history in Central
and Eastern Europe exploring the political, economic and social
mechanisms which either encouraged or limited the rise of the woman
architect. Investigating the inherent contradictions of Socialist
gender ideology and practice, this illustrated volume examines the
individuals in different contexts; the building types the women
produced; the books and theory they were able to write; their
contacts to international organizations; and their representation
on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
