Book synopsis

As the designer of tourist attraction "Hearst Castle" on the California coast, Julia Morgan was widely known as an outstanding architect. Though women architects were unusual, she was not alone. Many other women practiced architecture in the late 19th and early 20th century in California, though their work was often overshadowed by the work of male architects. This book presents the lives, careers, and work of fifty of these largely unknown pioneers. It chronicles the triumphs and challenges these path-breaking women faced in their pursuit of entering and claiming space in the male-dominated field of architecture.
