The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture edited by Anna Sokolina sheds light on pioneering women, who shaped the cultural, spiritual, and physical environments in diverse regions around the globe. Organized chronologically, it follows the evolution of women’s contributions to architecture through the centuries and presents portraits of practicing architects, leaders, teachers, writers, critics, and other professionals shaping the built environment. The intertwined research sets out debates, questions, and projects around women in architecture, stimulates broader studies and discussions in emerging areas, and becomes a catalyst for academic programs and future publications on the subject.
Irina Davidovici and Katia Frey contributed with the chapter "Flora Ruchat-Roncati and the 'Will to Keep Working'".
