Manitoba Women in Design tells the story of women’s contributions to Manitoba’s built environment during the twentieth century. These women worked as architects, interior designers, landscape architects, planners, and engineers. Their legacies can be traced across the province.
Despite this, many of these women and their contributions have been erased from architecture and design histories. This highly illustrative book begins the process of addressing these exclusions by showcasing the lives and careers of some of these notable women.
Fantastic resource! I was enthralled by the stories and was excited to see so many iconic projects included. I knew so little about the contributions of these women prior to reading this book. It was so well researched and I am already hoping for a second edition with even more stories as more women continue to make their mark in these industries.
