Well-known female architects from the USA and Europe report their academic and professional experiences and their visions for the future. Pioneers of the scene, lecturers, and young and up-coming women have their say. They all hold controversial positions on relevant topics of debate; they demand that matters be rethought. Photo essays and designs illustrate their individual points of view. This is a reference book, a 'tool' for the everyday application of young architects; inspiring, optimistic, and sometimes subversive.
