For centuries, women have influenced architecture worldwide by exerting power over space through their writing. By exploring a wide variety of sources, from diaries and travelogues to inventories and political pamphlets, this book expands architectural histories to include these women. Female spatial agencies are revealed using rare written sources, new methodologies, and in-depth re-readings of canonical histories. Women from all walks of life, writing as clients, users, or critics, are relevant voices for understanding the built environment’s past. Examining specific spaces such as churches, homes, gardens, or boulevards, it proposes a novel take on feminist historiographies.
