Jason:

I am glad to read your well said rant. It reminded me of comments by Lewis Clarke, posted recently at http://www.trianglemodernisthouses.com/whativelearned.htm#CLARKE

Thanks for your original post/heads up on Walter Hood.

Craig,

I meant the suggestion to read some history to the group as a whole. Sometimes learning that there have been others before is an inspiration. I can’t speak for Sally Schauman but she can speak for herself a bit. I interviewed her in 2008 at: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/specialcollections/lewisclarke/sally_schaum…

As for some advice to BZ from Southern “little lady” me, no matter what career field I’ve worked in over the years, I’ve just never assumed that I’m any less of a person than the guy sitting next to me. I also make sure my credentials are superb, my facts immaculate and I bust out laughing a lot.

Hope this helps!

I’ve just finished reading all the posts. I think some history is in order. Try Women in Landscape Architecture: Essays on History and Practice edited by Louise Mozingo and Linda Jewell.

 

Also, if you can find A Century of Women, there’s a chapter in there by Sally Schauman who, among other things, established the MLA Program at the University of Washington and served as Chair of the Department for 12 years. The chapter is called, “Landscape Architecture: A Gendered Past, A Feminist Future.”

 

Hope this helps!
