Women have been present in the AUstralian architectural profession in every capacity; from student and draftsperson, through to chief designer and partner; as teacher and writer; as well as working in the related fields of town planning, landscape and interior design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen's absence from architectural history can be seen to be most fundamentally a problem of recognition. While women have been graduating and working as architects in substantial careers in ever increasing numbers throughout the twentieth century, architectural history has largely failed to notice their existence or acknowledge their achievements. This history does not seek to replace other histories of Australian architecture, but to challenge and prompt a broader understanding of architecture than usually presented in architectural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOver 140 women who were significantly involved in architecture in Australia before 1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthored by Julie Willis \u0026amp; Bronwyn Hanna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA profile of aspects of architectural education, professional qualification and the changing nature of practice through the lives and work of significant women\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA contrasting insight into the opportunities, triumphs, difficulties and discrimination, demonstrating the complex history of women architects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the contribution of women architects to Australian built environment has been significant and lasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe breadth of architectural practice undertaken by women in this period; from domestic architecture, to industrial and institutional projects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Julie Willis is a Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of Melbourne.
