In the late 1960s, the feminist scholar Kate Millet broadly defined "politics" as arrangements of power which enable individuals collectively to assert authority over others. Taking this definition, case studies by scholars from Europe and Israel explore the gendered professional in the 20th century as she navigated arrangements of power-including organised religion, emancipation movements, cultural norms, and shifting forms of government-to practice architecture. Additional contributions reflect upon power structures in contemporary architectural education, practice, and history to propose other means of architectural knowledge, representation, and professional activity.
Christina Budde served as a curator for public architectural education at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt/Main until 2020. She studied English and Politics at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the University of Warwick (UK). At DAM her curatorial projects and publications focused on contemporary architecture, photography, and cultural education, as well as informal learning processes. In 2017 she co-curated the exhibition and catalog Frau Architekt. Over 100 Years of Women as Architects at DAM. Mary Pepchinski, professor for architecture and society at the Technical University Dresden until 2021, studied at Columbia University in New York and the University of the Arts in Berlin. She researches about architecture and gender, and held guest professorships in women' s and gender studies at the Technical University Graz (2002) and the University of Applied Sciences Mainz (2017-18). She was the scientific advisor to Frau Architekt. Over 100 Years of Women as Architects at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (2017).
