women + architecture ;)




In 1875 Mary L. Page became the first woman to graduate with a degree in architecture. Although a lot has changed since then, there is still a significant disproportion of women to men in the professional environment. The progress is obvious in the educational world, where 1 out of 3 architecture students are currently female. However, in 2003 the National Architecture Accreditation Board (NAAB) revealed that only 13% of registered architects are women. Many statistics suggest that although more women are receiving architecture degrees, there are still gender barriers to within the profession.
