Women and the Making of the Modern House
A Social and Architectural History
Author: Alice T. Friedman
An exciting new perspective on some of the most extraordinary and well-known houses of the twentieth century. Friedman begins her inquiry with a question: In the past one hundred years, why were independent women clients such powerful catalysts for innovation in domestic architectural design? The women at the center of these stories commissioned avant-garde architects to provide them with houses in which to live out their visions of a new life. Unlike previous studies of these buildings, this one focuses on people and their lives as well as on the history of built form. Through their fascinating stories our knowledge of these icons of twentieth-century architecture is deeply enriched.
