Description

What was different about the environments that women created as architects, designers and clients at a time when they were gaining increasing political and social status in a male world?

Through a series of case studies, Women's Places: Architecture and Design 1860-1960, examines in detail the professional and domestic spaces created by women who had money and the opportunity to achieve their ideal.

Set against a background of accepted notions of modernity relating to design and architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this book provides a fascinating insight into women's social aspirations and identities.

It offers new information and new interpretations in the study of gender, material culture and the built environment in the period 1860-1960.
