Women Writing Architecture

At the heart of Women Writing Architecture is this ever-growing annotated bibliography, an open-access list of texts written by women about architecture. Created collaboratively through conversations, invitations and spontaneous suggestions, it is offered as a resource for gathering lists of texts, for encouragement, for finding new writers, and for insight into what is happening in the vivid realm where women speak up for themselves.
