Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. This book examines the women whose contributions significantly shaped housing management, policy and design. It highlights how these women leveraged their experiences, opportunities, and, in some cases, social and economic advantage to promote progressive models of housing and community building. Their contributions extended beyond just improving housing. Their work created community, cultivated civic responsibility and demonstrated that housing was, and is, an important component of an equitable society.Organized by housing models, the book places each woman within her historical context and explores how they navigated constraints to contribute to housing reform. This trajectory spans from Catharine Beechers influential writings on domesticity in the 1850s, to Mary Gannon and Alice J. Hands founding their architecture firm in the 1890s, to Lillian Moller Gilbreths scientific management and her development of the kitchen triangle in the 1920s. It continues through Catherine Bauer Wursters central role in drafting the United States Housing Act of 1937, Hillevi Svedbergs collective housing designs in the 1940s, and Renee Gailhoustets visionary planning of Ivry-sur-Seine in the 1960s and 70s, culminating with Catherine Furets public housing work in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many of the women knew or directly influenced one another, yet their perspectives and methodologies often differed, reflecting the diverse ways in which women shaped housing.By illuminating these pioneers achievements, many of whom were underrecognized in their own time, this work offers a reappraisal of womens roles in shaping the housing environment. This book encourages readers to reconsider the history of housing, by looking at it through gender and interdisciplinary perspectives. This book examines the women whose contributions significantly shaped housing management, policy and design. It highlights how these women leveraged their experiences, opportunities, and in some cases, social and economic advantage to promote progressive models of housing and community building.
