| Summary |
"Gender and Architecture makes an original contribution to the study of the impact of gender studies on architectural history. This series of articles investigates the links between the theoretical understanding of architecture and its concrete experience - both in terms of internal spaces, and the presence and effects of buildings within an urban environment."--BOOK JACKET |
