...who noticed this, posted the other day by one of my favourite women bloggers:
"Science Books and Films gave You Can Be A Woman Architect by Margot Siegel and Judith Love Cohen (ill. by David Katz) their Recommendation. Their review stated in part: Margot Siegel, the architect profiled describes in her own words what made her want to become an architect and how she proceeded toward her goal. After telling of her schooling and current work, she asks, "Do you like to draw? Do you like to make things? Can you visualize three-dimensionally? Do you like to work with people? Then you can do it too. You can be a woman architect!"
...hmmm. I knew I wanted (had to) to blog about this, but even after days of thinking about it my mind still can't find the words.
I could make a joke about it...it's not like the hundreds of women I work with every day are here to get their WMArch degree. It's not like they'll be applying for different positions. It's not like being a 'woman architect' is a career that is any different from being an 'architect'. Aside, of course, from the fact that it's likely they will earn less than their male counterparts.
But what I really want is to hear what YOU have to say about it. So lets hear it...
