ArchitectureWeek Description
An investigation of how women patrons of architecture were essential catalysts for innovation in domestic architectural design. By looking at such iconic houses as Hollyhock House (Frank Lloyd Wright), the Truus Schröder House (Gerrit Rietveld), the Edith Farnsworth House (Ludwig Mies van der Rohe), the Constance Perkins House (Richard Neutra), and the Vanna Venturi House (Robert Venturi), the author explores the challenges that unconventional attitudes presented to architectural thinking — and to the architects themselves.

Also available — Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
