Architecture Feminism & Women's Studies Gender Studies Humanities, Literature & Arts (General) History Social Sciences (General)





Over the last several decades, feminists and architects have developed critiques of modern Western assumptions and cultural practices. The book address gender in relation to architectural discourse and critical theory, focusing on the relationships between sexuality and space hidden within everyday practices.



The book will focus on the discrimination of women to illustrate the historical and contemporary obstacles and pre-given roles. The political and social movements in relation to design and cities will be taken into consideration. On the other hand, design throughout history has been profoundly shaped and enhanced by the creativity of women; as practitioners, commentators, educators and commissioners. But in a narrative that eagerly promotes their male counterparts, their contributions are all too often overlooked. The book will also bring contribution of women designers into the spotlight.
