Though trim, this reference packs exceptional informational breadth and scholarly passion. Allaback (Mission 66 Visitor Centers) offers the first guide to 75 American Institute of Architects-registered female architects, born between 1850 and 1900, whose work has remained largely unrecognized. Organized alphabetically by name, each entry runs several pages and includes a brief biography, a chronological list of projects, a catalog of the subject's writings, and a bibliography. Highly recommended for all architecture and women's studies collections.
